I am nostalgia
Pin-up curvy, soft bangs, red.

-I'm stopped for stories

Gentlemen see both

Anastasia and a Scot

-History reveals...

Heroes, romance, war,
bravery, honor, and pride

-That was long ago


Loves, now long deceased
Along with too many friends

-"Should have seen me when..."


Just my hair alone!
welcomed such gifts from strangers

-Glimpses of their truth

Real secret of style?

2:00 a.m. bathroom haircuts

...and goodwill clothing

trapped in argument
one side -so irrational,
yet wins every time.

(its making up for
breaking down... waking up from
settling.)  Begin.  Be.

Ideas, waking life

my closed-eyed disturbances

too often become

pulsing mind, I fall
dizzy from the subwoofer
dancing in my head

Why purgatory?

To leave with epiphany...

It never was me!
