Give and Take
I don't care to let anyone in
because then they know
just where you have been
You are a people collector
a hoarder of souls
i think you know
you need to let them go
You gather them
as you would bees in a jar
or like postcards held
in cellophaned pages
You'll have to let them be
open the lid
rip out a leaf
people crave for a time
a bit of their own
to spend on themselves
to share with a friend
Last few words:
it's ok to be critical it's a two way street.

Hmmmm...
I agree, punctuation is helpful and would be welcome here. Critique is only as good as the spirit as it is delivered in and the effect of change to the end result. ~ Geezer.

It seems that the days and hours that people
are available for chatroom are staggered and
not a good match for most everyone. How about
if everyone just shows up at the door, whenever
they have a few free minutes?
