Some they do and some they don't, and some you just can't tell... Some they will, and some they won't, for some it's just as well.

"There's always been true love, but in my day, you either talked yourself into thinking you had it, or you talked yourself into thinking you didn't need it." - Janet Evanovich, Explosive Eighteen

There's a crack in my bedroom ceiling.
A small thing, just
the ghost of a crack repaired long ago
under the dusty layer
of stippled plaster
and faded paint.

It reminds me of a bird drawn by children,
two arcs joined hanging
over a slanted house
with the requisite apple tree
and a shining sun.

Nightly in my bed the shine from the street slips
thru my window blinds
and the bird circles,
aimlessly
over my dreams.
