If you live long
enough you might
ask this question:
where does love go?
(I followed its tracks in the snow!)

If you lie long
enough you might
find this answer
around the bend:
(It was living with an old friend!)

Have I tried long
enough to earn
a nice ending?
Rigor Mortis.
(Finally, Unbending!)

There are supposed more of these, but they sound too much like a song, probably because they are a song. Anyway, songs do not really belong here, I think.

New Idea: Useful Graffiti

Was in the restroom, saw a sign: "Please help us keep the restroom clean, flush your toilet paper." I wish signs like this were everywhere, but even this sign didn't go as far as it should have. "Flush the urinal, you wanker," it should have continued, "And wash your hands, too!" it could have ended. But it didn't. Anyway, I felt like scrawling these two phrases on the wall. Really, I think it would have done more good than harm.

Quotery

Is poetry that includes quotes not from people in Bartlett's but people close to you and when it is written about you it hurts. Quotery, Quotery, Quotery.
