Be not.
Do not.
What not you.
You do.
You.
Not who?

They Feel Clean
I brush my teeth.
They feel clean.
I rub my tongue against them.

Before It Finally Is
For how long and often,
Can a 'no' be heard...
Before it finally is?

Why are more and more people limping,
And bending over as if in agony?

You Wouldn't Know
If I did not love what I do...
You wouldn't know,
What it was I loved.

Only The Attempts Made
Change has no guarantee.
Only the attempts made,
Makes the difference.

I Seem Not To Have Time To Do It
How do I define impatience?
I don't.
I seem not to have time,
To do it.

Done
Started with intentions,
To finish.
Completed.
Satisfied with it,
And done.

Grossly Oversold
Grossly oversold and dropping.
Stocks.
Bonds.
And those inflated pretentions.

When You Solicit My Opinion
When you solicit my opinion...
Do not become surprised,
If I do not respond!
