The Cockroach

This would have been entertaining, had it not been said so very many times before-
This story of a cockroach, told once now, once then, so many times- it has become folklore,
Everytime I tell this story, I think it gets slightly weary, of being told,
Over time, this story feels like it is getting grey, and little old,

A Faraway Loving

How then, and why, suddenly, in this faraway land with four seasons and different spellings, did I long for the humid, tropical jungle of home? It was hard to explain- it was not exactly homesickness, but more an acute sort of love. Very painful and deep in the sewers of the heart, it came unbidden and unannounced inside your soul and mind.
