125

I saw an old woman
wait
why did I start with that letter, I,
I don't want to sound egocentric
sound,
that is

OK
take 2

you've probably heard
well, that sounds better,
more modest
but that doesn't set the stage.
screw it.
my ego,
here
I come

I saw an old woman
I think she was 127
but that's just a rough guess.
let me be a little more precise.

her ears looked like 127
but the rest of her body, well,
could certainly pass for 125.

I know, I know,
I shouldn't be staring at putative 127 year old women.
at least she's not 18, cause than the feds could get me.
but, that could be sweet,

you know, if the agent was hot
it could be kinda fun
I wonder if there really are hot agents
or is that just a fantasy
Am I the only one?

don't let god hear my thoughts
he might call me a hedonist.
I'll just call me,
Myself. And I'm cool with that.
no. I'm down with that.

You know, by the way
I spelled god with a lower case g.
please don't tell him that either
I think he might get offended.

I feel like I'm just wandering here.
Well, my thoughts, and then
my words.
I think they call that rambling.

My body though, no, definitely not wandering.
and positively not rambling.
can a body ramble?
At least for this thought, I'm sitting.
Who knows what I'll be doing by the next one.
For all I know, I'll be doing jumping jacks

You know, I once did 124 of them without getting winded
It would have been poetic if it was 125
or 127.
But, nope, just 124. Sorry about that.
Forget it, no apologies, that's what it is,  I'm not sorry about that.
But, yah, I still think it  125 would've been cooler.
Get a grip, be strong.

If you want to sound cool or nerdy, you could say 5 to the third
but that's only if you're trying to sound a certain way.

try and sound
the operative duo
 no, not like PB and J
maybe like, hum,
an eraser and a corkscrew?
no, no.

let's try this
lead and wood, now that's a good duo
a pencil?
or a bullet hole?

hum...
maybe a pencil in a bullet hole,
no you sicko,
that's not a metaphor
just a nice, double duo,
like yah,
a threesome.

nice ramble..through the bramble...

I love this idea: an eraser and a corkscrew?

one could say they are one in the same depending on how many bottles of wine you open!
