I obviously missed last week.

I have missed a lot the last few months.

My God, he was married to Beaver's mama. hahahahha

You live history not just through it!

That is why I attempt to honor you and Ducky.

And then you go ahead and write something and direct it towards ME?

You have so many memories Mr. Smith, and I am just an idiot.

hahahahah

Thank you for this.

I am speechless, which is hard to do.

Because I am never speechless.

Ha! Good one!

Sightless hearts may waltz

but they prefer the foxtrot;

it has a good beat.

In reply to It's mortality

Wonderful haiku octet plus one, DD! (There is a word for a set of nine, but I forget what it is ... a nontet? Anyway, nicely done.

There is a reason

we're not told the day we'll die;

we would never live.

Mortality is

simply a concept applied

to other people.

Of course we'll all die,

that is the nature of this

plane of existence.

So ... the thing to do

is to stop obsessing on

time ... focus on space.

Our ending here is

just our moving to the next

plane of existence.

P.S. DD, did you see the anecdote I wrote for you last week about my first standup performance? I hope it made you smile.

It's mortality

That is what's bothering me

Mortality, see?

I'm going to die

At least, sooner or later.

Sooner or later

What does sooner mean?

What does later really mean?

Later becomes now

Eventually it comes

Later becomes now

Why is it so hard

To accept the fate of all?

And I am just one?

Seven billion

And so I am just the one

This is selfishness

Enough of that stuff

We had a cool summer

No need for coolers

Devises that cool

were needed elsewhere

Far from this northland

I listen to the loons

I listen to the wind and trains

Calming they all are

THE END

Great set Mr. Smith

Nice, barefooted!

Blinded by love, I'd

know you though my eyes are closed.

Hearts like radios.

I recognize you.

My eyes do not see, and yet ...

You are everywhere.

I envelope you.

My blindness assuaged because ...

You recognize me.
