Wake up!

well . . .

I think I've blogged enough today.

Life goes on.

Thank You Veterans!

~ OK Now.

 
  This is despairation
    and grasping at straws
 trying to sell you a heart 
    of sadness that you don't want anyway.

   This is just a clinical event.
  I need a shot of sunlight and clean ocean air.
  Just the scent of the sea
    will be enough for me.

  So it's off to the shore.
   I'll be leaving by the back door.
  Don't need to stop at the store.

   This is just self-indulgent nonsense. 
    what makes things funny?
   Writing a play with a magic marker and a whitee board.
   Using voice recognition software.

   And I've got mic in hand.
  Gee, isn't it grand
   this depression.
 
        
  Pretty sunset in the camera lens
   I searched for you all day.
  I waited in the donut shop
    with little more to say.

   I thought you gave your best
     to the wide world around
   and happy bird singings in the grassy park
      a melodious Springtime sound.
