For Reference Purposes Only

Neville

For Reference Purposes Only

 

he moved like an acrobat

while she moved

    much like a ballerina might ..

maybe that’s why

they each fell in love with

someone else

  but still kept a few things ..

most specifically,

    the bars and the safety net ..

   although of course

    only for reference purposes  ..

      Life is a circus .. or that's what I have concluded since there are so many clowns around these days .. p.s. this comment has been copywritten & may well feature in my next proposed anthology called A Nuance for Old Times Sake .. Cheers, Neville
