I am the grit in the gears, the missing bolt, I am the poker of sticks into spokes.
I like to know how things work, but sometimes when I take them apart and rebuild them, I have a few pieces left over.
I am a man, so I tend to leave reading the instructions until after it goes wrong.
And like all men I have a comprehensive mental map of the world and never need to ask directions.
I never get lost, only sometimes I'm late, or end up in the wrong place entirely.
It's what we do.
naaahhhh..... mr peter pan collar in the back is the 'tom-boy' renegade girl ..... and i'm questioning the one up front as well, hiding out in boys britches.

ReplyDeleteDeeply coded. Uncrackable. Tortoises and lettuces.
ReplyDeleteFour girls, three boys so far as I can see
