55

When I go to leave a comment
google tells me,
“choose an identity”

I don’t know if I can fit
such a big idea
inside my head.
Who would I be?

A circus clown? Nope, afraid of clowns
Astronaut?  Nope, afraid of heights
Secret agent?  Nope, hate guns
Novelist?  Nope – I only write 55 


This 55 is for Shay in her lovely Word Garden.

  2. And THAT, dear Mary, makes you a "Graduate of the G-Man" and a brilliant with words. Who wants to read a novel when it can be said in 55? ;)
