Poem

Solitudes

/ /

Scripture: “Man shall not live by bread alone.” I love you helps, even if said alone.

A life freshens when lived in company. Awful to die, and then be dead, alone.

Don’t reread authors drunk on violence. What picture’s painted in blood-red alone?

Things drab or useless may have hidden virtues. The alchemist wrings gold from lead alone.

Why should I want to do group meditation? Vision won’t chat; it breathes, instead, alone.

Pets always push each other from the dish. A dog or cat likes being fed alone.

Yes, Rogers lent Astaire some sex appeal, But lightning struck Immortal Fred alone.
