along the palace steps
and watch the world trudge by
with rain streaming in its eyes
and order steaming soup and tea
or a nice Viennese coffee
with cinnamon and allspice
smothered in a cloud
and talk about the times
we never had
and the dreams we never followed
and regret the words we never said
because we hadn't had the courage.
and between the sips
and clank of spoons,
we brush away our intimate thoughts
for like the foam of whipping cream
we feel always on the edge.

and if it weren't for you I really wouldn't post a thing here because technically it is such an incredible hassle and half the time now the comments just don''t load. Gather Inc just degenerates with all its bad advertising. Do you really think I need a Lotto to enter the US, especially if they are building a wall in the south to keep the unwanted aliens out? the US gov is really mucked up and thinks the world can't see it. Out with Rummy and in with Gates-- bad news never stops over there
so I see it rains and lets go have something nice like apple dumplings at a cafe so I can get over this grouchy awakening.
thanks for the strudel and omelette, but add an elephant tranquilizer to that-- I simply can't deal any longer with Gather Inc incompetence-- accessibility is about 20% if that. Unusual to be able to open the pages here and then you have to battle with the stupid registration each time round. unbelievable.
and sorry but shut out of this site and honestly do not know of another site that has such horrible server and technical problems that it is down 16hours a day. and really fed up with logging in fior every bloody comment and then waiting five minutes for a page to load, if it ever does.
have no more patience for this place and am tired of the perpetual white-out.
