Through The Glass Darkly

NaPoWriMo NotebookThis is not what patience looks like.

I am sorry for the confusion.

This is what I am dealing with it looks like.

This is what hearing the best you can do, is not good enough looks like.

This is what hearing the best you can do, is not good enough looks like.

This is what hearing the best you can do, is not good enough looks like.

This is what hearing the best you can do, is not good enough looks like.

This is what hearing the best you can do, is not good enough looks like.

over and over and over

This is what “you think you have the power to stall, front, and give me attitude, but you do not,” looks like.

This is what, you gave me lemons, I made lemonade, but you wanted peach tea, looks like.

And now you want me to plant a rainbow from the seeds.

It is not going to happen.

I am sorry I failed you,

I am done.

You are welcome.

and THAT is just the way it is!

You see when someone does something for you,

You say “Thank you”

and if you are over twelve and do not know this, Well the word “brat” does not apply, does it.

I know,

I am not an English Major,

but this much I do know:

You cannot begin every sentence with an and, but, or so.

Even capitalized.

Every once in a while, maybe.

But every single one.

No!

So, Every now and then.

Okay.

The grammar police do not scare me.  Hell No.

But every once in a while, write correctly,

Even

if it is just for show.

NaPoWriMo Notebook

It was that dream where I find myself waking up staring strait into the sun, and I realize I am floating face up in an inner-tube in the middle of the sea.  Just as I realize where I am, I think, “how did I get here?  oh yea this is a dream” and I roll over to go back to sleep, tumbling into the sea.  As I sink, I don’t need to breath, I just sink.  As I am sinking I am torn to pieces by a giant shark, and the world goes dark.

When I open my eyes, I am swimming, and swimming.  I feel my powerful body.  I am strong and driven.  I swim and swim and never stop.

I am never going to find myself floating helplessly in the middle of the ocean again, I will never close my eyes again.

I am a shark.

How I Love your words!

Your fanciful, glowing, transcendent, effervescent words.

Pass the honey, wink words.

The I can’t breath without sighing, words,

wow!

Yea,

singing in the rain words.

Pablo Neruda could not have asked the time more eloquently words.

and when you listen,

Man

how I long for that too.

I can take on the world with words

and when you don’t

I …

have no words for that.

and I guess you don’t either

anymore.
