Playing with words

... before I have to eat them

Balboa Press

Contents

Trans-parently, 1, 
Letting the words line up for 'The sentencing', 2, 
The tattle-tells reading will, 3, 
It's 'What they said', 4, 
Sky drivers, 5, 
The only breath I know, 6, 
....Humans, 7, 
Feeding what you want into it, 9, 
When the tax break falls, 10, 
Where your book ends ... meet, 11, 
With a brush of the tongue, 12, 
Serving for generations, 13, 
No choice but to, 14, 
Hear today.... echo tomorrow, 15, 
Gone.... on going, 16, 
'Words'.... The silent undertakers, 17, 
"Why's?" and 'wise' ... same sound with opposite mental directions, 18, 
No-interest from the Bank of Attention, 19, 
Buy too-day.... the world is 'picture perfect', 20, 
Friends ... by making friends, 21, 
....they went THAT way, 22, 
Or else I'd be back.... 'there', 23, 
Righting the head-liners, 24, 
One parked bike at a time, 26, 
The thing that buys money, 27, 
You're already so 'in it'.... You're there, 28, 
What dirt does for garbage, 30, 
The bulb under the lampshade, 31, 
What's been 'under our knows' the HOLE time!, 32, 
Soft.... where?, 33, 
Your words are good to know - but better to hear you with, 34, 
You take it from here.... or life takes it from there, 35, 
Another sonny day at the teach, 36, 
'Home from the meeting' serenade, 38, 
At 'the point' in a relationship, 39, 
Re-presenting what's going on - to see 'The present', 40, 
When you focus on your past – it becomes your future, 41, 
Feeling halfway guilty about....?, 42, 
The HUMAN Application we have to feel out, 43, 
Wisdom can't come out alone, 44, 
The roots of our fingerprints, 45, 
'Confused', 46, 
When it all starts making cents, 47, 
Cut once.... measure twice, 48, 
Who attention pays.... first, 49, 
By whom the rocks throw, 50, 
Turning the box into a bag and letting the cat out, 51, 
If not 'HERE' ... Where? - if not 'ME'...Who? - if not 'NOW' ... When?, 52, 
An Eye for an 'I', 53, 
"If it's grim...." say the reapers, 54, 
'Statistically speaking'.... Do we "NO!" this?, 55, 
More than a headline, 56, 
Passing 'the issue'.... please!, 57, 
Naked in the mirrored window, 58, 
Life.... from the past lane, 59, 
What 'experience' never wonders, 60, 
It's not the role you play ... but the character it makes you, 61, 
Not leaving "I'm well enough" - alone, 62, 
Who said "There's no such thing as...."?, 64, 
If we're smarter than we're looking ... where are we looking?, 65, 
By the skin of the teeth, 66, 
When we accept the following, 67, 
It's the only explanation.... I can find, 69, 
Betting the 'odds'....?, 70, 
Pointing out the problem only makes it right if YOU haven't left, 71, 
Um, 72, 
Were we supposed to 'take' notes?, 73, 
Prescriptive lenses, 74, 
'Fear' is an option - so is 'What I'm about to say....', 75, 
I balls, 76, 
From left to right.... time marches on, 77, 
Life's lost and bound, 78, 
It takes a lot of angels to pull one out of the pit, 79, 
'Stupidity' is easier than we've made it look, 80, 
The sign of the reasons, 81, 
....and then it spoke, 82, 
You can't push a rope uphill, 83, 
Speaking in plain language, 84, 
Smile.... It's an 'I' exercise, 85, 
Questions we've already answered, 86, 
Different than the 'experts' say, 87, 
Stra-gedey – It sounds made up ... until you 'watch', 88, 
The weight of ALL matter, 89, 
Dancing around the life boat, 90, 
The difference between learning and making history, 91, 
Exposed.... ahead of time, 92, 
Too much fertilizer to go.... back there, 93, 
The whole world in those hands, 94, 
Our glasses, 95, 
It's hard to see 'the big picture' when you're in your frame, 96, 
EGO-nomically efficient, 97, 
Writing.... the 'what's left?', 98, 
Then who?, 99, 
Who I am, 100, 
The written waiting womb, 101, 
Defining the details, 102, 
Where things go ... in 'The end', 103, 
The invisible cheering section, 104, 
Crummy commercials cause, 105, 
The ground hogs day, 107,
