In four very different ways, you have stimulated a vision.   Jim

Hello suffocating lux; Welcome to the blender!<BR>

Isn't it time for Sushi to pop out someplace? I dare not breathe that but it's sort of like that Jack in the Beanstalk line that goes Fee Fi Foe Fum I smell the blood of a Sushi-man.. <BR>

The encouragement you and rennie gave me allowed me to see the humor and futility of my despair.  I wish I could write about the joy I feel now, as you can.  But alas my muse is only there in times of sorrow.  Rejoice with me that I seldom post, and be happy for me.  Jim

But the imagery is new huh?  Perhaps the sewers of Deep Ellum have soiled his muse?

I have posted a poem inappropriate for the blender itself on the soapbox forum, a commentary on the death penalty.  Jim
