with these years
comes baggage
but they are
little more than
'Pepper For My Cabbage'
my Aussie friend
loved to use that old
Australian adage
I'd forgotten about it
until just now
as these phrases
saddled themselves
up on the page
a page woman as well
it seems I've become
sketching images with words
harnessing each their
abstract momentum
displaying them like art
upon an auditorium stage
whispering with my paints
well...............
would you look at me
I'm all the rage..............
