TRANQUILIZE HER

"Well," she said,

switching off the light,

"I do love you
--but Im not
IN LOVE with you."

"Whats the difference?"
I asked.

There was a long

pregnant

pause

--then she answered
by making those
funny little noises
that always proceed
a dead snore.

five star and sent this one to favs. David. Sorry it takes me so long to get around. My guitar is not turbo so the ride is a bit slow.lol~but it beats my broom and swiffer for comfort.lol. I love my guitar..but not that way.lol.Very brilliant look at "love". When i was a little sprout my Mom gave be a little book called"So Many Kinds Of Love".I didnt get it then and I've learned that it seems to just be different levels of "The Barter System".hahah.Well I love you and your work.

cheers Lisa S~x

Some say poetic genius is present in every age, but the men carrying it within them remain benumbed unless extraordinary events occur to heat up and melt the mass so that it flows forth. I believe that is what's going on with you now, Mr. Curtis. It happened to me back in '68. It was late and this really fat woman and I shared a night together, she too snored and occasionally farted. The next day, I wrote, "Kill Me If You Can" my bestseller.

to love someone mean to IN and OUT love with them so i thought but it appears there is lite love and regular love, decaf love and love without cream..the list goes on.
