The words slide through the air Meant only for me Truth cloaked in a sexy smile Witticism drier than the Gobi — You tickle my frontal lobe Rapid-firing my neurons Your intellect is incitive Our laughing fits are marathons — A comic I’m not, still you laugh at me Awkwardly, our dance is all feet … More The Funny Things You Say
I was just thinking Why we never agree A person could circle the globe Returning to this very tree — This planet now feels super small Yet we share no common ground We disappear in our far flung positions Into the distance, never to be found — No corners or ends, just going ‘round A … More The World Must Be Flat
The ravenous feeling of late night Thoughts anything but straight Still thinking in the morning light In those stars is my fate With you, soaring higher than a kite I fall back to earth in a different state Struggling with all my might Nervous on our first date These butterflies took flight Surviving the impossible … More Late Life Love Affair

Summer notions hardly unpacked Just sunbaked ground deeply cracked August’s heavy, suffocating air Curling my damp, sticky hair Vacation months grow shorter Dog days give no quarter My youthful energy spent Wondering where the years went The golden evening hue Swallows the overhead blue At dusk the insects call Announcing the coming fall
