In the morning I may write about Closed Shops

 or Ivory Towers or Formal Essays

I'll see which way the wind is blowing in the morning

the thing about chronic pain is that you have to wait for it to pass

and then sneak in with a piece of life or writing

it's a bit like having an erratic tiger in your house

so you can only play in the garden when the tiger is busy

killing chickens, so their loss is you gain

precious time  has to be used before the explosion or

the quick sand of pain gets you for the hour to a full day

for when you could very easily fall prey to self pity

instead of saying***** it and getting back to your life

a life some may say is a life of torture

or you are better off dead

shall I lovingly drive you to the airport and

Dignitas in Switzerland and  you have left me

your beloved stamp collection in your Will

No you fight, because you have something to do

even if it's praying USA wakes up and finally

kicks Trump in the pants and out of office

Whatever it is that keeps you going

gives you that spark of life, Prayer , Music, Love of your kids

whatever it is, keep on going

and ignore the ignorant people who think they know best

for you

Only you know what is best for you, so ignore the hypocrites

and if you are a hypocrite  yourself

live with your failings, and accept them

don't use them as a rod to beat your own back with

acceptance of self is the most important thing we learn

in this or any life.
