nothing like the educational value of a punch in the mouth… if we learn from it, persevering, it’s worth it..

On the other hand, a punch in the nose is never worth it, I’ve found.

Oddly, I do too (last punch in the nose: 6th grade, but he got one too)

Imagination is funny

I never imagined

A sunrise with a fat lip

Is that the same

As the woman

In the Opera

Who sings

At the end?

The ashtray kiss and on a fat lip boot shines reflecting gray rain clouds and two lozenges hung over a banister to negotiate my way to the kitchen counter. What week is this? Who kissed me? I hate the black and blues of morning.

I toss the blue sheets to the wind .

Black circles under my eyes.

Clouds darken. Looks like rain. I can live with that.
