Can there be

just the right amount

of wrinkles in the brow

exactly the correct measure in

the tension of the lips

and just how do you measure

the focus in the concentration

aimed at who knows what

but hitting the observer

like a laser sighted shot

A Walk

Cusp

perhaps describes

the afternoon best

the cusp of evening

the cusp of properly cold

weather coming in

in the easterlies toothy grin

the cusp of yes or no

the cusp of where to go

to risk the chance of mud

or stay on the tar

as best we could

the cusp of what to wear

i chose a hat

you let that glorious hair

defiantly flow

through the chilly air

and round we chattered

and sorry about

the mud splattered

but all in all

on the cusp of yes or no

i am glad

we said go

PJs

She said she might look better in a scratch of lace hardly covering any place and pyjamas covered all but her face he said he didn't care what it was she chose to wear even the outline would do just fine and she was wrong but so was he it's the way she wore made him want to score and yes attention is neat but sometimes she just wants to sleep
