Us bound by

She had a
heart of gold
With a dash
Of hot sauce
Let's keep her

Like corn kernels
In hot oil
Keeps me going
Stir crazy


For Dolores, and 35 more years!

sherku: metaphor

when thoughts collide
I speak in
Metaphors
Connecting
All the dots
One, two, three


This was incorrectly mentioned in one of my podcasts. At the time I recorded, I added a couple of words, without having the original text in front of me.
