It knows where you sleep.

he Plays guitar

The quieter I am the
faster he goes the Farthest he
is away from his inhibitions, concerns

I stay quiet because even if
I don't need help badly he
is so concerned for my
welfare and conscious of
my presence when I just
want to look at him.
I guess I would need my
own room, too. A room
where one could not
just "open the door"
onto your space.
It is hard to feel the
flow that way.

Scratch Ticket Baby

5 $1 1.00 for scratch
tickets give it a chance
How much money should be
invested to uncertainty?
4 chances a day - minus gas money
Blows luck through her lips with
her breath.
4 matching numbers 5, 9, 11, 7
If Probability were dependable
It would bot be psychiatry's math
Slippery 7's sing a chance.
A $1 1.oo more gets me a closer
what Signs are born from
Breaking Even?
Lucky 7 is a Mistress of the Muses
Laughing behind the numbers at a
fool's chance
Slippery 7s, mommy millionaire's
give birth without hesitation
You pay for what you play for
Breaking Even, Breaking Mind.
