Every time I see you,
You’re putting things in bags;
White, plastic, annoyingly clingy
(Flashback on ex-wife --
Those words, those terms --
But that’s not nice)
The Tylenols go
Next to the frozen meat loaf
Next to the paper towels
Next to the next to the next to the

But it really doesn’t matter
Do it any way you like
Just let me soak up the you that you do
The voice, the look, the inner sense
That you are the only one
That this one could ever dream of
A circle --
The spitting image (?)
Of the image that spit
On me, so many years ago

But you weren’t there;
You’ll never know
Of the eons in between
You just go on pressing buttons
And handing back change
With a dizzying smile
Tomorrow I’ll see you
I’ll have frozen pizza next time
And I’ll soak up your sun
As you put things in bags....

And how do we begin to covet, Clarice? ...

Ok- don't buy anything you don't need...

"Shop 'til you drop!" Satan says....

Just a customer, with groceries in hand,
But the way you looked mismerized me,
and you with no wedding band.
Smiling brightly and glancing my way.
Beautiful this lady. That waited on me today.
I wish she could think of me As a guy she'd like to SEE.


Lex, So many times man. I have been here and feeling the maybe,,but always inside feeling ,,no way..
she'd only shoot me down. So I'd leave, thinking back in my mind
to a time and place she could have been mine..


Your poem took me to your place, I even seen the same smile on her face.......GREAT JOB, my friend....

Just a lonely library clerk
Often see too many jerks
(I'm writing this at work)

Some nights I hope for a second glance
That maybe someone would give me a chance
Would you like to check out a romance?

But I have to be professional all the while
Even when I'm floored by your smile
Ready to melt into a mushy pile

Sometimes it's the other way around
And the person waiting on you is on shaky ground
Admiring you without a sound

(Hi all, my roommate told me I just had to check out the writing forum and I'm glad I did. Hope you got a laugh out of my goofy rhymes.)

Hello Pamela is your roomate 7Kate7 ?
