i feel i cannot get involved
give remarks. i know when
something gets me. embeds
a while

after a moment of reflection
say ‘bravo’

all the chat and critique
will only spoil that spot
for me

i reply to you for i like the
simple passing to and fro
with understanding

the talk on heating & coyotes

what good is all the bashing for

though

i must say that i take most remarks

on board &
as a compliment
that someone read
and bothered

i got bashed for not reading
yet i do that too when i am
able

hugging may be more productive
really
oh really

later the chimney sweep comes
to sweep the chimney
