Monday Poem

Auto-auction

if I should give account of all the days that shame me
I’d be shamed indeed —especially by those days
that shame me by my own account

the noose that one gets in was once a collar
its no mystery how the world goes round
a penny for my soul, why not a dollar
?

Appropiate for a Monday. A slew of them up your sleeve. Just as well, they are lovely. The doctor left you a link a day or so ago. It was quite a beautiful poem too.
