Woke from a dream
disturbing enough for
me to take to my grave.

One of my pet fish
(this was not the dream),
named Stupid,
(Sorry Stupid for that)
was dead, leaving Stripey
swimming alone.

See-ment Mary
(not dream either)
sporting angry
graffiti - Abstinence makes
the church grow fondler -
Neatly branded in
black.

Its time someone simplified the
English language.
Here are two initial proposals.
1) All letters only make one sound.
2) The sound the letter makes is the sound of its name.

I have to say I was surprised.
Had expected vandalism or
disappearance however
was not expecting
the small hand made wooden
cross that someone
hung around See-ment Mary's
neck on multicolored
thread.

See-ment Mary is on the move.
She has relocated herself about 100
feet south east next to Elm brook.
Coincidentally, or not, the
"bicyclist must yield to pedestrian"
sign has been removed.
Does this match
any Nostradamus prophesies?

A 3 foot tall cement statue of
the Virgin Mary has been placed
on the Minuteman Bike Path in
Bedford. She is standing on a
cement snake which has a
cement round object,
presumably an apple, in its
mouth. Did some kids steal it
from someones yard and got sick
of lugging it around? Did someone
have a prayer answered and
put the statue there in thanks?
Did it fall out of a cargo hold of
a plane landing at nearby Hanscom
Airforce Base?

1) Does Superman have super peripheral vision?
2) If so can he see what's behind him?

The death of Jeff,
who had been unknown to me,
caused my phone to ring,
an email received and
the phrase "Death is the
true democracy, everyone
has to do it and everyone
can only do it once" to be
recalled.
