You missed
it.
While the sky busted up the clouds
you sat waiting, poised.
While the sea sank its borders
you played scrabble in a smoky room.
While the forest begged for air
you blamed the
chalk-faced preacher
and his wooden words.
While
the bear lay fat and quiet
you piled tinder
on the constant rail.
While the wind farmed dust in the streets
of anywhere
you sang the old gospels
one by one
on a farm with
too green corn
and all the while, the meter maid
was counting minutes and the
bear became
fat and grew dreams
in a dirt bunker and all
the while
as you waited dreamless
in your backyard clothes
broad cloth clinging to your old man bones
the thundering
tick
tock
swept clean the old days
and the whistle blew
your train
straight on through
the station.

I fear that I am wasting my life
we are always asked
to understand the other person's
viewpoint
no matter how
out-dated
foolish or
obnoxious.
one is asked
to view
their total error
their life-waste
with
kindliness,
especially if they are
aged.
but age is the total of
our doing.
they have aged
badly
because they have
lived
out of focus,
they have refused to
see.
not their fault?
whose fault?
mine?
I am asked to hide
my viewpoint
from them
for fear of their
fear.
age is no crime
but the shame
of a deliberately
wasted
life
among so many
deliberately
wasted
lives
is.

When you hear the term no balls, it has a different meaning to each person. No balls to some people means being scared to get hurt, or do something physically courageous. To others it means being an avoider, avoiding conflict, or confrontation, or manipulating instead of confronting. Most of my trouble in life has come not from actually being an avoider, but from being a shy person, and being seen as an avoider. I don't believe people ought to find more guts, because nobody, including me, has guts all the time, every day. I'm just a guy with a bad social mistrust and discomfort, and some people see it as fear of confrontation, and as a human being, I care what they think more than I pretend to care about them.

Nothing......I've seen the elephant. I made it through. The reaper walked right by me and left me alone. I held the hand of the dying. I've seen where we are going...what is left to fear. It is time to enjoy life. You won't get a second chance.

I fear that one day you'll be seriously fed up with Y!A and leave us and we won't have a person like you to make us smile and laugh at times.

Rodents of any kind: rats, hamsters, gerbils, mice, guinea pigs, but, strangely, not ferrets. Don't know why that is.
