Noahamen! ...halved reducng unread

Till disease do us part
There are only three diseases
maybe four
may be some more
which we all here are afraid of

one is dementia
second Alzheimer’s
third Parkinson’s
fourth Cancer
fifth and finally
lungs going, going, gone

in no desired order!

is stalwart ignorance
of the heart and soul
from these springs forth
the refreshing waters of
Life...Love and hope

of course Prayer helps
(lately I have not...I;m
angry and holding out..
my back is turned..
I dont know yet...perhaps
my superior and brilliant
Psychiatrist will assist
me...physical ailments
be damned..the worse
ones are the within..!)

Thank U!

you read mine
i will yours
then you will be first again

as i rest in my lonely drain
alas now not in vain

many who read me
still here remain

Lonely drain....
awesome

reminds me of the whirlpool
about a girl that worked for a mortician
in the thirties...they took those that
jumped over niagra...she made a
musuem of the non intel stuff from
their pockets...artistic and morbid
maybe....in those days it was not
as taboo death..

but very clever.

thank U!

I would have been
the world's best
pole vaulter

you take me far above
a poetics altar
so i assure you
I shall not be a
faulter
