If everyone were a nurse
there would be no grume.
(2)
When you love excessively,
you imagine everyone
is in love with them.
(3)
Like an apothecary inquiring:
How are you?
(4)
Lashings of asperity
prod to religiosity:
negotiate future lives.
(5)
To question nurturers
is to announce arrival.
(6)
Jet black hair at eighty:
vulgar display of vanity
even for an actor.
(7)
Chancing upon you was pleasant
like finding an old photograph.
(8)
I thought I saw you, turned my face.
Mind, a malingerer.
It wasn’t even a doppelganger.
(9)
To break wind in company:
familiarity or faulty tenue?

Familiarity
Just because you feel it does not mean everyother person does. Faulty tenue!
