THAT PART DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY  QUESTIONS

DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY ANSWERS  CAME FROM WHEN I USED TO HOUSEMANAGE AND WOULD GIVE MY SPEECH TO THE VOLUNTEER USHERS ABOUT WHAT I NEEDED HELP WITH...EXPLAINING HOW THE THEATER WAS SET UP HOW TO SEAT PEOPLE WHAT TO DO AT INTERMISSION AND HELP WITH CLEAN UP AFTERWARDS I WOULD ALWAYS ASK THEM TO REALLY LISTEN CUZ I COVERED EVERYTHING PRETTY SIMPLY AND THOROUGHLY AND IF THEY HAD ANY QUESTIONS AT THE END I WOULD ANSWER THEM BUT THEY  RARELY DID IF THEY WERE PAYING ATTENTION SO AT THE END OF THE SPEECH I USED TO SAY DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS AND THERE USUALLY WERE NONE SO THEN I'D SAY DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY ANSWERS AND THAT WOULD ALWAYS GET A LAUGH...ANYWAYS THAT'S WHERE THOSE TWO LINES CAME FROM...

ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE STORY OF MY LIFE I WORKED PLACES WHERE I CROSSED PATHS WITH LOTS OF FAMOUS PEOPLE...SOME I RECOGNIZED  SOME I DID NOT OR SOMEHOW FOUND OUT AFTER THE FACT...ONE SUCH MEMORY WAS OF TRUMAN CAPOTE...THAT VOICE OF HIS WAS SO FAMILIAR AND DISTINCTIVE...ALL I REMEMBER IS HE WAS WEARING A RAIN COAT LIKE TRENCH COAT STYLE SO IT MUST HAVE BEEN A RAINY DAY. HE WAS ASKING ME LOTS OF PERSONAL QUESTIONS AND I WAS ANSWERING THEM. HE SAID I SHOULDN'T DO THAT. I REPLIED I HAD NOTHING TO HIDE...I MENTIONED THAT TO SOMEONE ON FACEBOOK AND SHE SAID IT WAS  AN INTERESTING COMMENT HE MADE BECAUSE HE LOST A LOT OF FRIENDS CUZ HE USED TO THREATEN THEM WITH A TELL ALL BOOK....I FIND THAT FASCINATING. I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THAT...ANYWAY THE NOTHING TO HIDE  THOUGHT PROMPTED THIS POEM. EVERYBODY MUST HAVE SOMETHING THEY FEEL THE NEED TO HIDE...MAYBE SOMETIMES THEY EVEN HIDE IT FROM THEMSELVES...

HUH

DO I SENSE A BIT OF CONFUSION

HMMM

LET'S LEAVE IT AT THAT THEN SHALL WE

SO MANY POSSIBLE OUTCOMES

WHICH WILL WE CHOOSE

DO IT WITHOUT HESITATION

NO PRECONCEIVED EXPECTATION

LOVE LISTENING TO BIRDS SINGING...

EVER HEARD WHEN THERE ARE WITNESSES TO SOMETHING LIKE SAY THERE ARE EIGHT PEOPLE YOU WILL GET EIGHT DIFFERENT STORIES ABOUT WHAT JUST HAPPENED...THAT IS THE WAY IT GOES WITH POETRY  TOO AND ANYTHING REALLY...WE ALL SEE THINGS WITH OUR PERSPECTIVE SO WE GET OUR OWN MESSAGES...WE HEAR WHAT WE NEED TO HEAR AND IT MEANS DIFFERENT THINGS TO DIFFERENT PEOPLE...INTERESTING PHENOMENON BUT VERY TRUE. DIFFERENT THINGS JUMP OUT AT DIFFERENT PEOPLE AND WE  JUST NEED TO TRUST WE ARE GETTING THE MESSAGE WE NEED TO GET...FASCINATING...MAGICAL...OUR INTERPRETATIONS CREATE THE STORY OF OUR LIFE AND IT CAN CHANGE AT ANYTIME...FOOD FOR THOUGHT

IF YOU FIND YOURSELF FEELING TRANSFIXED

SOMETIMES IT'S BEST TO EXPLORE IT

AN OLD FRIEND OF MINE WENT ON A ROUTE 66 ROADTRIP AND HIS FRIEND HE WENT WITH IS SHOWING THEIR TRIP DAY BY DAY...BEST WATCH IT THAT WAY...ONE DAY AT A TIME...I BINGE WATCHED SIX IN A ROW AND HAD TO TAKE A BREAK BUT IT WORKS PRETTY GOOD FOR INSOMNIA...I PROBABLY SLEPT BETTER THAN I HAVE IN A LONG TIME. I WANT TO GO LAY BACK DOWN...IT IS SENSORY OVERLOAD BUT  I  BELIEVE WOULD BE A LOT MORE FUN TO WATCH ONE DAY AT A TIME RATHER THAN BINGE WATCHING...THAT IS WHERE THIS POEM CAME FROM THINKING ABOUT THAT...LIKE IF YOU HAVE EVER GONE ON VACATION AND WHEN YOU GOT BACK FELT LIKE YOU NEEDED A VACATION FROM YOUR VACATION LIKE JUST A COUPLE OF DAYS AT LEAST TO JUST CHILL...THAT IS HOW I FEEL JUST FROM WATCHING THE VIDEO CLIPS AND FEELING LIKE I WAS RIGHT THERE WITH THEM...YOU CAN FIND WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT ON JORDAN THE LION'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL..MY OLD FRIEND SCOTT POSTED ONE  VIDEO I FOUND ON HIS YOUTUBE CHANNEL SCOTT MICHAELS DEARLY DEPARTED... https://youtu.be/UDnN0zg_qRY  YOU CAN GET TO ALL THE OTHER EPISODES FROM THERE....SAW SCOTT JUST POSTED THIS ON HIS YOUTUBE....  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XR2-j0DGo70
