were sinners onceJust like us
Tap dancing
on the spectrum

charged with a variety
of wrong way violationsYet they found the resolve
to overcome their core imperfections
and get their shit together

To my peeps,
I'm still here, I still remember you, and I am missing you.
I also still can't see right, hence my inactivity on screens.( #vss365 #BlueSkyRelay #VssPoem #DailyHaikuPrompt #FotoVorschlag )

Now that you have me
where you want to
painted in a corner
I gotta warn you

and desperate #ultimatums
always makes me chafeHoney is the best bait
if you wish to create
a path for my full cooperation
