There’s a thread that binds all of us together; pull one end of the thread, the strain is felt all down the line.
Rosamond Marshall
Here I am
Drawing lines
Creating
Words
Then, through them
I cross lines
The heavy
Weightlessness of care
You’re not there
And that
Is more than I can bare
When a loved one
walks out the door
Demand closure
You’re paying
the power bill alone now
On this Day in 1969: "Leaving on a Jet Plane" single sung by Peter, Paul and Mary, written by John Denver hits #1 on US Billboard's Hot Top 100.
A threat is a kind of promise
Doctor
I’ve waited long enough
Take out
These pins and needles
The secret
To staying young
Is lying about your age
80% of children lie about their age on social media
44% of older workers lie about their age on job applications
20% of people lie about their age on dating sites
Life is a prank on the living
Pre destination
We should stop
for a pee break
The leaf
Knows nothing of death
As it drifts free
To rest
You should always demand the door to be shut when someone leaves. This was great. I no longer lie about my age. It would be a pointless waste of breath.

Thanks. I don’t lie but I do take a while remembering my age.

Was it really all those years ago that song written by John Denver was released!? I was only twelve years old then (and I don’t lie about my age anymore, either). Life is too short for lies. I loved John Denver’s music back in the day. I had all his albums, which I sold to someone not that long ago. I don’t have a record player anymore, so there seemed no point in keeping them all. I sold a lot of other records along with those, too. Got £20 for the lot! Not bad – they were only gathering dust.

I know! Time keeps slipping.
I’m surprised you only got twenty pounds. There’s a big market for records these days.

I have my kids to thank for that one. They need a pee break before, during and after most activities.
