April 1989 - page 5

1.
she complained about his never eating
and always working and his thinness,
he began to stay at home and eat...
now, she complains about his laziness
and his over-weight condition.

2.
there were always reasons
and justifications, especially
from those who accomplished
nothing at all for several yuars.

3.
I could not bear to hurt you
and my actions cause that
to happen all the time...
I am a contradiction.

4.
self reflection
evaluation
to the last detail pursued
accomplishing nothing
without self esteem.

5.
it was youth betrayed and
old age annointed to bridge
the gap of twenty years.

6.
she owned her own place
bringing men there
at her leisure...  her youth
lacked the focus that was
later found between her legs.

7.
not much went undetected
she was an inspector
of quality control... when it
did not pass she would
re-inspect it anyway, almost
finding it to be acceptable.

8.
it was just a little depression
I felt...  a slight case of the
doldrums cause by the weather,
women, and work...  the very
worst possible combination.

9.
parking lots were made for talking
if not their original purpose...  for
more converstaions were made there
than in the classroom, trading notes
and assignments and tests and names
and numbers and making dates
whent it was more or less convenient.

10.
too many things
were on his mind,
being pulled tino
all sorts of directions
none of it, his choice.
