We travel sine waves
of lifetimes; on certain
orbital planes, we meet.
From all our times around,
we think we are
essentially
                                   alone.

Once in an eternity,
we get to wander a while
with a fellow traveler,
a re-cycled companion.
Sometimes for a lifetime...
mostly for a some-time.

Hold the sometimes close
and treasure them;
they are the proof
that we truly

never

travel alone.

Icy blue skies' glance
slices through the ends of earth;
winter's beginning.

Appreciating
the cunning embrace and sharp
wit of an old foe.

The doctor sat before me
Said "Take your trousers off"
She reached inside my boxers
"now , turn your head and cough"

I thought this little grabfest
With her hand upon my kit
Was a little south of normal
But, I stood and did my bit

She asked me a few questions
And now me....getting rather terse
Said" I went through this already"
"out front talking to the nurse"

"I'm not sure what you're doing"
"And I do not think it's right"
"Get your hand out of my trousers"
"I'm just here to fix the light!"
