Thoghts

JA Long 1963 (Santa Rosa, CA)



Thoughts get quickly interrupted often
  But they sometimes return even after
The cracked toilet cuts us or we burn our
  Food thereby causing the house to cry

  Thoughts are really each and everything
 From choices and inspiration to hope
Plus rumors-even groomers have thoughts
 As do artists when connecting dots with pots

Thoughts are like dots in that when connected
 Correctly they create a feeling of determination
  But if not the result is discouragement and hate
 So struggle to suppress hate from life
