My True North (a birthday poem)

On Dec. 2nd Kathie has a birthday.  She will be 61.  I'm married to an older woman.  Well, not older than me, but I've never been married to someone her age ever before.  She is my cougar.  My red hot smokin' mama.  She is my true north.  She has kept me on course for over 40 years.  I'm not an easy person to live with.  I'm broken.  I'm both troubled and troubling.  But Kathie is my true north.  This is her Birthday card from me.  I can post it early, because she never looks at this stuff.  She thinks the computer is a big wierd multimedia solitaire gaming system.

Don't Wait. Live

the text

Hey!  I've finally figured out what's 
         wrong with the world today!
We're doomed,
and yet, I am 
not the least 
bit worried.
Half the time, when asked what emptiness means
What what you say.
Know that nothing lasts forever.
Embrace current reality, because
a sense of urgency
is halfway between being too frightened 
to act and too dumb 
to know what to do.
What I know for sure
   is you deserve to
embark on an unparalleled
intellectual journey where
there are no such things as
low expectations.
Life stays surprising.
Don't wait.
Live.

Sometimes

the text

Did
you
know  sometimes you need to
           deny that  human life can be lived like
           you can keep it going as you have?

You're telling yourself that maybe this time
it'll be different.  Don't you know that's
                                  dangerous?
                                                                                        "Wait-- what?"

Sometime the
  tell-tell brain asks:
"How do you deal with this open wound?
 These are perilous days
 and lonely runs both ways?"

G
U  Well, I guess I'd answer:
L               "To make life better
P                                     love your life,
                because life is precious.         You
have to rethink everything you thought you knew.

There's more benefits of life in the slow lane.
