REEL LIFE


You said it
I said it
To each other
At each other
Sometimes
Very
Loudly.

You heard what I said.
I heard what you said.
Were either of us
Really
Really
Listening?

So much time
Too much time
Passed this way
Sands through the hourglass
In the "Days Of Our Lives".

Too many hurts
Too little healing
And
Love has
"Gone With The Wind".

You stand there
I stand here
Each in our best
Rhett Butler pose
Saying
And not saying
"Frankly, my dear, Scarlett,
I don't
Give a damn".
