Houston, We Have A Malfunction.

Darn hot flashes.

Sigh.

Thoughts

In a jumbo

Like the church's bazaar.

Littering my mind

With jagged fragments

Of half formed ideas.

Rubbing against

Impressions from the past

Refusing to lie down

Silently.

Hmm.

Maybe

That explains

Why I am smelling

Smoke.

And

The sudden hot flashes

Roasting my body

With its heat.

Least

My silly body

Isn't dripping

Like a melting icicle

On a warm spring day.

Guess

I should take

My small mercies

Wherever

I can.

At the momet, Serah, I would love to have back my ability to read other's poems and understand them.

Hot flashes. Very close to spontaneous combustion.

So very true, Tammy. My worse moment, happened while shopping at WalMart. Sigh.
