the list shows how deep you are <br />how admirable and the resulting envy could <br />be inevitable <br /> <br />sometimes i wonder if that deep ocean <br />belongs to you and that what i have is only the <br />shallow part of the shore where i <br />content myself with foams and sand <br />and passing wind <br /> <br />i am not yet familiar with the path of the shell <br />the labyrinths of your chosen words <br />but i am not that dumb <br /> <br />challenged i shall soon learn all these tricks <br />but not with a dream to be like you or anybody else <br /> <br />i am handsome in my own way <br />and in some ways untold <br />you are ugly.<br /><br />RIC S.
