(CANT- phraseology peculiar to a particular class or profession)
Poets mumble sentences in their head,
Little dirges,
For the dead...
Who don't even know they are!
They fantasize about things to say,
Write amazingly deep thoughts,
(To them, anyway).
They look around,
Search for those they can get to read..
The little inkling of their seed..
In the crumpled up paper in their hand..
Then they leave.

THE OPEN SEE
victorm5356's profile picture-I had posted this on my instagram so thought I would share it here. I couldn't remember why I titled it THE OPEN SEE..til I re-read it. One of my memories is a beautiful girl on a bench in HS with such beauty and another named Suzanne a few years younger than I who left her mark. Another beauty imprinting another memory which is the portal of time open to see your past-got it? Only the regrets are left..

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.
