Jigsaw
I am a jigsaw Placed on the table of life For all to see. People passing through my life Add pieces; Sometimes they add many, but Often only one. My outer edge is gapless, complete But not straight, My boundaries curve around Old obstacles. There are gaps in my jigsaw Patiently waiting For...

One
stands alone and bends with the forces of nature, never breaking but, with each blow of the natural, undertakes an effort of control that eventually causes an unnatural twist or kink, forever leaving the marks, the badges of fortitudinal courage that shrink when momentarily glimpsed in the mirrors...

Going to Work
One cup of coffee, white; Two slices of toast. Channel three on the TV; Four letters to post. Five minutes for a shower; Can I dress in six? Seven articles to read; Eight mistakes to fix; Nine minutes the phone rings Just another delay, Ten minutes, I’m out the door And finally on my way!

No one ever told me The little wiggling boy Would become far too Big to sit on my lap. So, instead I...
