The really great thing about being a bit crap at relationships is you get an awful lot of stuff to write about.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

This Is An Is Thing, Isn\u2019t It?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is an is thing<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t a once thing<\/p>\n

Too late for once now anyway<\/p>\n

This I hope is a future thing<\/p>\n

And an odd thing this not once and future thing<\/p>\n

An odd thing; time<\/p>\n

Not just because it breaks the rhyme<\/p>\n

It was getting close to needing to do that anyway<\/p>\n

So where are we?<\/p>\n

Where we were both before was<\/p>\n

Nowhere much good; it was ok<\/p>\n

But you know, not really<\/p>\n

What we were looking for<\/p>\n

And then; us. Somehow<\/p>\n

It\u2019s good.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re hoping it will stick<\/p>\n

This time, this summer<\/p>\n

These nights and days<\/p>\n

The blossom time,<\/p>\n

The blessed Chinese June bride time,<\/p>\n

Something I saw<\/p>\n

On the label\u00a0of a T shirt in Hong Kong<\/p>\n

Ten years from now;<\/p>\n

We\u2019re not that young.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve both been places rich and poor<\/p>\n

But fingers crossed and hoping<\/p>\n

The pigs aren\u2019t whistling;<\/p>\n

It’s hard sometimes to make this right.<\/p>\n

So let’s go slow this evening<\/p>\n

And do no hurt tonight.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
