I am filled
by confessions so common,
no one would wish
to hear them. I have used
my loneliness as a lever
against myself. Across the table
a woman shakes out her hair,
looks elsewhere.

- First off, I’m not your lawyer. This is a strictly personal weblog which muses both on legal issues and my personal experiences. Writing to me does not make me your lawyer. Asking questions of me does not make me your lawyer. Any writings in this blog (or any links from it) are simply not legal advice, either generally, or in reference to anyone’s specific circumstances. Do not rely on anything you read here as a definitive statement of the law or as legal advice. Laws vary from place to place. If you have legal questions or require legal advice, contact a local lawyer, or better, several lawyers. All comments here reflect the changing views (such as they are) of the author, not my employer or any other person or party.

I am so common,
filled by wishes used to loneliness,
levers against ever. Elsewhere
a woman looks, and across her
I confess.

RJ, I'll have something to say about your poems in Digerati but still thinking. Short version: Liked 'em.

Ha! That's interesting. I quite like "levers against ever." We're looking at an actual companion poem, I think.
I'm curious as to your Digerati opinion, but take your time with that thinking thing. Neither you nor me nor the poems are going anywhere.
Best,
Me
