FOXES IN THE TREES

 FOXES IN THE TREES
Except for the T-shirt with the bull’s-eye in the middle of the chest, she usually didn’t give me gifts, but I digress, Let’s do what’s best as these are  phrases of purpose proving that when my streams of conscious fail , they always fail to get me near, false hope faded on a dead end trail , but this  soapbox is sincere 

So though short  of certain clever, focus on now or never , Should I fear true  content , abandoning our love her planned intent. Love is An exotic condiment , with its fresh cut edge as nourishment. A Freestyle journey To stir our souls , Freedom within this creative domain must remain a sacred honest endeavor To  dilute cliche’, to strain mundane until the conversational melody is such that we need not explain. 

 We  could mold sophisticates into words that may somehow rebirth as lyrics. but we’ll go back to that another time, but first, why did I fear it? When I was in the forest that time, when she attempted a simple  rhyme , it did remind of that Spinner’s  song that’s upside down like howdy doody your clowns too , they’re all laughing at you and why were they even there and  didn’t say or stay in the middle of the road? I didn’t have no time to count the foxes hidden in the trees today and she didn’t have no time to be a decent person,  and the random gifts didn’t give me any lift. 

That  was just her way of hinting that she was going away, like howdy do, I don’t want them laughing at you. Just lookin for a clue as to what to do ,I don’t care if you’re on the side or in the ditch there’s no middle for me , as we proceed where there is no road,and when she left , she left my mind on overload

    There is an old saying that proposes one should quit while the going is good .. you clearly didn't .. maybe its time to move on but with a few lessons learned 🎶🎵

      I make all these women and situations up but I grant you , within this fiction is every mistake I’ve surely made.

      All depends on what you want. proxcimity and misery distance and lonely regret take your choice. A most poignant write Bobby The game of life does not always offer the prizes we desire.

        Sensei ,
        I agree. Whatever I’m into , I have 2 built in Stops
        Stop short of messing w someone dignity
        Stop short of getting overtaken By my own insanity
        All other things are ruled by attaching numbers to potential risk. When I dealt pokerfor that Orgsnized game , the best players week after week played pot odds

          Life’s tightrope walk every single interaction we have, shifting gears and adjusting course settings… so much to look out for and navigate through….

            I wrote this do I could have piece with cadence for an open Mic Everything I write about women is made up. Did I drive the point home with a competent plan?
            WTF- I ain’t got nothing to navigate
            Cuz if you listen , you’ll hear the silly fiction in my diction!

            • arqios

              Is there ever a competent plan when enacted on our fine womenfolk!?

              • Bobby O

                You got me there now here’s where I slyly shift topics So my friend ,what did you think of Wemby’s 50 a couple nights ago.

                  Good save there!
