FEET WITH SOCKS on
.............................Hoàng-Ân......................
Boddha Dahrma scratched
his disciples'
souls.
But my feet stuck to my socks
and the itches in my brain
get no relief
from my numbed fingers!
Todd Rundgren sang, "Izzat Love"
I can barely remember
what it is like to be in loved!
An old friend told me,
There are many ways to love
And that there are as many kinds of love!
Is "true love" an oxymoron??
It's just that
I want so to
feel:
.....Only,
Oh! So heavy
my shoes..!!
WILLIAM THOMPSON (1712-1766)
THE HAPPY LIFE
A book, a friend, a song, a glass,
A chaste, yet laughter-loving lass,
To mortals various joys impart,
Inform the sense, and warm the heart.
Thrice happy they, who careless laid
Beneath a kind-embowering shade,
With rosy wreaths their temples crown,
In rosy wine their sorrow drown.
Begone, ambition, riches, toys,
And splendid cares, and guilty joys--
Give me a book, a friend, a glass,
And a chaste, laughter-loving lass.
