Out and Out Loud

Have you ever, ever
in your long-legged life
kept your head
down, down, down
instead of
facing your own

I miss all the things.

Too many years
I ran fast and low
under the radar,
dropping my pen,
tearing up the paper,
until I could find
an indelible marker.

Press on. All the best. Peace.... r
