#scary They all seem to be puppets, some more obviously so than others. Inconsistency, hypocrisy, fomenting trouble, turning a blind eye, denial, "nothing to see here folks" on the one hand and

Thank to @owasco, I have found you and your clever poems. #love 'em! You sound so busy learning new things and DOING things, yet you have a sense of something unfinished. I love this: When I had the time

Do you know this song? You cannot quit me so quickly Is no hope in you for me? No corner you could squeeze me But I've got all the time for you love The space between The tears we cry is the laughter keeps
