Walled

So tall, perfect and straight. Equal inches, cement to brick. Dare I touch it? It’s too precious, don’t! Too far away, can I approach? The wind, says yes. Go. Ah, yes. Been waiting for the chance. On approach……just what I thought! Just what I hoped, imagined. Now, I’m here. Wow. The sunlight’s…

Value I Did Not Expect

The salon I chose for my most recent haircut came from a grocery store receipt’s coupon. Not one to turn down a good deal within my budget, I made an appointment. Since he’d never cut my hair, I told the barber what I wanted. The non-heroic cape followed, then the…

Word To Ponder: Skank

Calling a woman a skank is ill-advised, so don’t be surprised about anything that comes your way from it. Begging off while thinking you can convince her you’re referring to the style of dance for reggae or ska music won’t work either. The problem I have with this word is…

Ride Wisely

Ride Wisely Not often enough, we are tested in a manner of huge magnitude, unexpectedly.
