Perfect honesty. Greeting strangers.
Wearing a new sweatshirt. Writing sonnets.
Greed. Losing her. Fear leading to anger.
Alternating ages. Past presidents.
When I’m silent. Philanthropy. Flee-
ing from reality. Honesty. Same.
Scrooge’s nephew. Bill Packard, James Dickey,
Dr. Frank Armbrust. Retreating from fame.
Inside her. Holding her while in a park.
Faith and action. A passionate love song.
Relationships dissolving due to stark
ego-centered fear. “Can true love be wrong?”
“For my age and temperament, I’m fine.” “Poor.”
“Pray for them.” “If you don’t shoot, you don’t score.”
