That person the other day,

will he ever return

or perhaps

he might think another way.

then the rodeo began

with dust kicking fury

each idiom, every adage,

all fought for their place

in an arena of semantics.

~

While me and my enigmas,

well we soldier on,

we continue to define what’s real,

when we have the time,

to deal with everything that is sur-tainly

puzzling, sometimes foreboding.

~

I am this person today,

and you are simply the same,

yet different in every way,

so simple are the words,

when truth may have its way.

~

Goodnight to this sweet world today,

another time, perhaps a newer cliche,

and we all soldier on,

we all do want to go on …

really, we do.
