selfish act.
...and what are the words one uses to describe a compilation?, works from my entire life?, fifty years of carrying around a yellow pad?, fifty years of writing and rewriting, changing the words, as their meanings change for me?
These pieces are extracted from my book of prose, “50 truths and 50 lies, the first 50 years.” Available Here
selfish act. belongs to the following groups:
All Things Poetic, Artistic, Philosophical,

WMG
i have offended a friend
i say this with great sadness
i have no way to mend this act
that i shame so much
to have let a trusted comrade down
no way to exchange
the pensive smiles or tears
not enough moments to restore the spoil
of my selfish act.
