S. Eliot’s poems? <br /><br />Since then I've become a junk drawer,<br />a list that falls behind like payments<br /><br />on a loan; days go by, interest piles<br />high, time runs out, and my<br /><br />business career persists as<br />“Practical Solutions” instead of<br /><br />things I should have done<br />if only for the want of time.<br /> <br />Basil Rouskas<br />All rights reservedBasilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09663203702515912643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272430209314356497.post-78470467635555117342011-05-11T09:03:35.101-04:002011-05-11T09:03:35.101-04:00Very nice, Jamie!

Comments are most welcome.<br /><br />A challenging prompt, Adele!<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Jamie<br /><br /><br />AND WHAT IF I NEVER<br /><br />And what if I never looked at these things again:<br />the holy card from my mother's funeral, the <br /><br />envelope opened to the broken petal from a rose,<br />the wedding band I wore before I knew what <br /><br />loneliness is. Each is its own sadness, what <br />is left, what is tangible -- more real now in <br /><br />this drawer that I rarely open, more real than <br />their memories and what I try to forget.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272430209314356497.post-29055760479881978672011-05-08T09:40:55.874-04:002011-05-08T09:40:55.874-04:00Hey, David!
