Answering Anonymous

The buy in was cheap

just a few lines in the new 

social intercourse

the stakes .............

rising of their own volition

like yeast in warm    -       wet       -     flour

contesting the context of hearts and bodies

There is an allure of 

black, cherry succulents       -     under rocks      -       ignited 

in          emails and messaging

"Write a poem about me b***h" 

was all it said ......

splintered chicken bones 

in my quiet mist.

LOL I wish someone would ask me that question:) now the only anonymous emails I get are "write something decent b***h" (and I think the culprit is my subconscious mind manifesting in my sleep and sending me hate notes while sleep typing) by the way I enjoyed that song too

E, your choice of music to accompany your words is great. The photo is perfect. I loved the opening line. yup, words are cheap. Some cheaper than others of course! I want to know who called you a b***h! it's amazing how keyboard warriors are brave as long as they can hide behind the screen. I hope you do not choke on one of those splintered chicken bones! LOL Lydi**

Social intercourse is anonymous and we don’t know what’s coming down the pipe…. Nothing seems to be sugary sweet anymore…..they can be nasty and ugly…. I have been getting crazy texts….from strangers acting like they know me intimately…….a mystery for sure…. Yet we have to get used to it….nice write!

Hi, Gene,

This has the mystery of Ashbury hiding in it. That mystery may be what makes it work.

Hidden messages within messages, i don't pretend to understand Gene.
Something buried long ago , something sweet seems to have risen again..?

[Einstein Noodle]
