it's called "expression in writing" and it's how it's done in a writing site., d. bo.. it's a word sculpture trying to knock itself into three dee space: it's called, "literature", dum. b., and it's what we're here for.

you crazy, crazy goofball...
here is a little tale for you.
years ago, i had suspicion that my (at that time) soon-to-be ex-wife might be
alcoholic. as one of many attempts to exhaust every possible resource in the hope of saving my doomed marriage, i began attending meetings of al-anon.
al-anon, in case you're not familiar, is basically the same as AA, except it is for the
caring loved-ones of alcoholics.
never having been to AA, i assume that what i was told about the two (and indeed there is a third group called al-ateen, for younger participants) groups was true: the 12 step programs are basically the same. (they also have what they term the 12 somethingelses, the name escapes me)
i attended, "faithfully", for 3-4 months, even though it was obvious to all that my
marital status was irreparable.
the results were amazing to me.
one of the 12 steps is to accept that a "higher power" exists, in whatever form you choose to "believe". i commented, more than once, on the fact that the different people i'd met (and believe me, what a strange variety of folks) all seemed to be the "same", at their deepest level, or at least strikingly similar.
this is why the program works so well, i think.(their slogan, at meeting-end is "keep coming back-it works if you work it")
somehow, i "believe" humans to be genetically coded to have these beliefs- whatever they are. just as we're coded to procreate through heterosexuality.
just as we're coded to get the shits if we have something in our body that don't belong.
of course there are aberrations to the code. we are human, not perfect. this is why there are so many questioning this deep stuff here. this too, is likely something to do with the code of being a "poet", or philosopher, or whatever...
i'll tell you this, for certain
beyond
doubt
you're all very funny
thank you
good night

yes, but why were you meeting as just that group? and why, only, are remembering that one concept, blanking out on the way the coffee styrofoam had that odd shadow??? -- the alien space god of saazoo had you right where he wanted you.

He posts here because he doesn't write poetry, so obviously he can't compete on that level with everyone else here.
