the steady
steely
evil
cock-sure
stare
from
YOU !
And I envision
momentarily
every one I know
reading this
simultaneously
with some
running into each otherOMG
in a frenzy for a minute or two
wondering who
I'm referring to !
And I used the stare
today
in the way
you taught so well -
not smiling
not frowning
just dead-on in your eyes
with my look that could kill glare
for too long
if you're
on the receiving end
but today it was a
property mogul who
doesn't care
and I tried to inspire
and awaken his eyes -
quicken his
spirit
and help him
realize
he holds
peoples lives
in his hands
and all he seems to notice
is when they hand him
their
money
and seems unaware they try some more to tolerate
neglect and worse yet
life-threatening situations -
water leaks endlessly (mold anyone ? )
and Cottonwood cotton plagues all of June
and begrudgingly he
paid for gas to stop leaking
once
which did not make him
the STAR material he thinks he is
so when it became obvious
he is intoxicated by
getus
wampum
loot
and its madness
and perhaps
fundamentally lacks
faith in Universal Abundance
and some level of
common sense
I turned the steady stare his way
with not another word to say
and withheld some of his
BELOVED $$$
and bright and early the next day
he showed up to take care of some
business -
and I learned it from
you -
thanks so much
but it only works
if the receiver is
guilty
in the first place -
if not it is a waste of
intensity
energy
and attempt to
manipulate
and you will find as you grow older
it is wise to save it ( whatever it is )
until you need it -
( not recommended for everyday use ) !!! . . .
