A Little Spittle Goes A Long Way

Life is full of censorship. I can't spit in your eye. - Katharine Hepburn

gravity on your side

it's easy to spit at the top

not so at the bottom

more side to side

more likely in your eye

like a denuded, colorless leaf in autumn

lol it's the first time I will accept the "spitting" thing :> people find it difficult to put themselves in others shoes. easy for them to act only from where they are. ego and arrogance will always be the first problem in humans' nature, some hurtful words go straight to the heart, easy to do, easy to hurt one another because it is not us. still at the same time what I can see here from another perspective is, do all You can to reach the sky then You are allowed to do whatever You want :>

you always seem to know how to reach the higher ground or at least aspire to do so. i'm beginning to wonder about that "do whatever you want". there seems to be a unshakable honesty at the bottom and a higher likelihood of going astray at the top. perhaps nirvana somewhere in between. we probably need to live both to fully arrive. thank you ... :)

I always believe in the heart and soul, so dear Pete even if You were the Top of Kings my believe that You will have the humility of being a human, along with the pride too :>

There are some angry spots which can be vicious especially coming from a female.
I'll take the spot and shine of shoes. She might toss that too and that is a big insult in the Arab culture. An excellent poem with refraining message.

probably one of the few things I can still do as well if not better than when I was a kid. thank you sami ... )
