went to a friends
nice gathering
great food
sitting around enjoying
one two three glasses of wine
and someone says
you still writing
poetry
well ya I do, still at it I guess
well lets hear some of it
just so happens I got a piece or two
and
like that
my words are in the air
bam
and
some of it was pretty good
and some of it was pretty stupid
good thing was
there was this chick there
felt like she was checking out my aura
when we met
hippy free flowing
almost like the air around her
was touched, different
turns out she’s a great reader
made me look good
made my words
come alive
in a deep throaty sensuous
kinda way
had all the pauses
just right
had all the intonations
down perfect
damn
almost like she was in my mind
knew how I would say that
if I could
out loud
think I’ll keep her
one never knows when the air
is gonna be full
of
my
words

I think you are such a good writer. You words come alive and breath fire. Just hold my hand for a 200 years and let some of your expertise rub off on me. Bill
Josie, you are the best at this free flowing beatnik kinda poetry. I can just see you in a smoke filled coffee house listening to a hippie chick speaking your words.
