Lose your dreams and you
could lose your mind…
---Ruby Tuesday, the rolling stones…

My sis and I
We used to sing
To old forty-fives…

Now she’s lost in America
Somewhere on the street,
Our lives having crossed
And parted in loss long ago.

I no longer lose those I love
But keep them close in spirit.

I no longer refrain from voicing
Aything, afraid to look the fool.
