When I was 15 months old I fell into our pool, My cousin, a year older stood at the edge. Pointing. Don't know how long I was there. six inches from the surface almost black in color My sweater, floating in the ripples My Aunt jumped into the frigged water to save me. A miracle. The years that followed, I often wondered why.

Nicely done Donna, ... and so glad you were rescued!

I looked to them for restriction which they handed to me wrapped in gold and I sat down. Then others said I could do anything. A nervous energy I wrapped in wood.

Look at the stars shining above glistening cubicles full of workers who choose to be alone in company and ready to succeed at something unknown to them in grade school. There are so many occupations beyond lawyer, doctor, teacher, nurse why weren't we told about meeting planners and strategic planners and day planners in first grade?

The bark that sparked
My brains reaction
Acted on my addiction to
Soundless silences
Slipping through the silent days
Always awaiting the next
Thud boom or crack
And ending with a sigh.

Laughter bending my brain Where am I What is that and why so dark I'm warm. Its wet and I feel safe Let me out I want to see Soon enough I'll be free Today is my daddy's birthday party I'll be born in sixteen days.
I remember when, yeah. I swore I knew everything, oh yeah.

When he was 3, He broke my fish tank So I bought him a drum set. Just to keep him stationary .No more Lego Bucket, Tin pale, Or egg crate to sit on And no more metal spoons. I've been his biggest fan throughout the years, And his hard work has paid off. It started with his mobile unit almost 30 years ago. Now he has his foot in the door. Sign the Contract!
