Biting one's tongue is hard to do when one's mouth is open.
It's less hard if you bite it when it's closed.
That way, no one will see the blood.

The doctor said I have “floating bodies” in my knee.
They were going to do surgery, but felt some of them might still be alive.
They didn’t want to take a chance.
Neither did I.

My give a **** factor is on the fritz.
I’m afraid it’s permanent, I won’t get it fixed.
It’s never a better life than now in this state,
Especially since my marbles were lost, on my way to this fate…

What is pain?
Is it that what we feel physically, oh the agony?
Is it that what we feel in our heart, oh the anguish?
Is it what we feel in our souls, oh the torment, the fear?
Do I know when I am in pain?
I am not so sure.
I can stop everything except pain.
I can think of insignificant or awful things to stop love.
I can think of splendid things to stop hate.
I can have uplifting thoughts to tame the torment, to quell the fear.
I can think of other trappings to not think of something I don’t want to think about.
But when I am alone,
When it is just “me and me” and Him if you like (or need) ,
When I remove whatever clutter has taken residence in my mind, body or soul.
I can feel pain.
I have all kinds.
My body aches even though my head tells me to ignore it.
My emotions afflict me when I am rejected, feel unloved or lonely.
My soul seems to desert me when I have done something wrong (or thought I had) .
I always surmised this was a bad feeling, this pain.
It, pain, is only one of many feelings, emotions and spiritual parts of my life.
I am blessed because I am able to feel pain.
If I were not, I would not be human.
Or I might be ******, Pol ***, Stalin or of the like.
If I did not feel pain,
I could not feel love.
I could not feel gratitude.
I could not feel relief.
I could not feel Him.
I could not feel anything.
What a pity to not feel anything

The cops were lots, but the docs won out.
They took me and my mum in for years.
The families, the friends, the memories are still here I know...
That’s what matters to me.
August 30th, 2024 – Dedicated to my Uncle Bob (aka “the Doctor Quincy of Orange County”….and Trev and Georgy, three fine people in blue suits), some of the most influential individuals in my life.

"There once was a BOY named Paul.
       who went to a fancy dress ball.
He thought he would risk it.
   To go as a biscuit,
But a dog ate him up in the hall”
NOTES – told it to my limerick class in 1964. I copied it from a book and tried to pass it off as mine. It didn’t work. But I was only 9 years old……POV? Mom was ****** though. She gave the school hell for letting me get away with it. Oh yeah, the dog's name was a German Shepard named Gronk. He was from New England. Not the old one....;-)

Leonard was a good man.
He carried a good tune.
And Johnny was a beautiful boy.
So was Gilbert too.

A poet scans the sky for words,
That form into a cloud.
Of confusion and dishonorment,?
Of this, we should be proud!!!!!

I love poetry.
Of course poets ****.
We swim in the muck.

At least that's what the guy in the mirror says.

UPDATE: just realized the first three lines/stiches/observations is a 5-5-5 poem of sorts. Also known as the double nickel plus one type poem ...aka - MY-COO.

Somebody call the "thought" police.
The "feeler" police are too busy.
Cutbacks are for the weak.
So the strong can take care of them.

Not sure how this will end.

You know you have indigestion.
When your stomach growls
And you think it’s someone.
Trying to break into the front door.

These are things that must be explored.
Not abhorred?
Or all aboard!

You mustn’t fret.
It’s just your ears.
They turn to dust,
Inside your fears.

Amen

One September day.
I spied a poem
Written by me
I wasn’t alone.

Finally, recognition.
After all these years
It’s been a long time coming.
Something’s taken away the tears.

Ninety Eight people.
Have read about me
Something, I, wrote.
For fun and for free…….

Answers, are what I ignore.

Her amber hair
My bulbous nose
Her silken blouse
My thrown on clothes
She still remembers the good times had
I still remember my thoughts said bad
A better person she is than me
I open my eyes but never see
Each day I will regret the past
The time goes by without a gasp
I talk to her just now and then
She talks to me of love lost when
I am the smaller of the two
In the heart my pains are not too few
I could have had it all when all is said
On my epitaph so short, and I will be so dead.
Too late to change what might have been.
The sorry always are late and grim
But the time I had with one so good
Regrets can be what could have should.

I grew up in a paradise,
Quiet, and near a beach.
The skin got quite eroded.
And now I feel like my feet.

A place where I grew up and my mind wandered.
A place where I thought I could fly.
The airplanes would slowly fly over.
So i could spy them with my little eye.

On my back as they flew over,
I imagined I would never let go
Of the feeling of wonderment tightly
Did more than I could ever know.
