And when you meet me, my bretheren, you will greet me in this way.

Know that I loved you yesterday though there is no aftertaste of chocolate or dullness of a hangover. Know that I don’t conform to empty traditions and postures and thank you for accepting me in this. Know that I don’t need a day or excuse or floating filament to attest to my sentiment.

Above all, know that I loved you yesterday. I love you today. And I’ll love you tomorrow, my Friends. Have a bright one.

Lies I’ve heard
From the start…

“Not that smart
Ain’t got heart
Just a tart
Slow to start
Below the chart
Dull-eyed dart
Richless fart
Empty cart

Progress in ‘park’
Stopping start
In the dark
Just a lark
Can’t make the mark
No grave for Clark
Reality stark
Mewing bark”

What’s that?!
Hark!

Who’s that?
Hark!

Can’t hear you
I can’t hear you
We can’t hear you

Stop!
Okay.
Now start

Over.
