TAT’s All, Folks!

so i’m plannning an unexpected trip to beijing this nov care of a friend’s junket that allows another friend (moi!) to be brought to co-enjoy this junket. ha ha…

the junket covers all the land trips, board and lodging. and my free miles cover my airfare. yi-hee! kinda feels like commercialism/ capitalism has its worth - sometimes.

everyone says it’s C-O-L-D in beijing this nov so i better bring mah fur, aha…

anyone care to share theirs?

So there was I, akin to Romeo’s Juliet in an upstairs porch,
Holding the phone, clutching tightly my mind’s speech
Rehearsed til dawn, creatively practised on captive friends.

And I choked!
(Well, rhetorically at least.)

There goes my grita!
(A freaking walk down juvenile memory lane!)

What is it about him that
Leaves me
Abandons me
Captures me
Lures me

I turn off the phone, end any future conversation,
Time echoes in breathless gall

And I whisper,

Next time.
