Second Thoughts

To cut against the grain .
Paper slits across my wrists,
no sympathy,  no pain ; ....
.

.
who will remember ,
If  I'm not there to remind them ?


By Jove !

Hi Jove,

interesting format. Though using only few words here, you say quite a lot. Glad it's not your reality, that would be slightly scary. Yours, ~Nina

More or less

On this subject less; is more, "more or less" ! Yes, I do not want to go sooner than is written! Yet, I did die last march . Woke up in the Richmond ICU. I still have faint yellow bruises on my side and chest from the shock pads. Oh well we can't live forever. Not even two months after I was released from the hospital ,I got into an accident on my chopper and broke a few bones, lost a couple of toe nails, rash, you know stuff like that . I turned my brand new black leather pants and jacket white, sliding along the highway at 60 miles an hour ! lol woohoo ! what a ride . I got up kicked the pieces of my bike that fell off to the side of the road kicked my bike over it started so I jumped on and rode home no clutch-light-breaks-mirrors-bent bars-two broken toes -one broken arm-no left boot-smashed helmet-cracked crank case- Thank God I only lived a few miles down the road . Not my time I guess. Now that's a poem in the making ! By Jove !

Dear Jove,

what a story! We have a proverb in German "Totgesagte leben länger" (those pronounced dead live longer). May you be one of those and live to see your 100th Bday. Yours, ~Nina

The way I live my life

The way I live my life that's not very likely ! But thanks anyway . lol Man by then I would be pile of broken bones in a bag of wrinkled skin. All held together in old worn faded black leathers. Ack! By Jove !
