    Don’t mind me. I’m just getting my thoughts down on paper here. Writing poems seems to act like self-therapy.

    I wandered lonely as a kangaroo
    Just looking for something to do
    Until I noticed something strange
    What’s this?
    Oh I see now
    It’s a little meaning of life toy
    Just what I needed
    Must be fun to play with
    Very similar to a Rubik’s cube
    I’ll have to buy the book to figure it out
    To master it

    How the hell is hell?
    Hot and humid I heard
    So heaven is not hot?
    As cold as the North Pole?
    Hell must be like those countries on the equator then.
    And those of us who live in temperate climates are in Purgatory?
    Waiting to go to Antarctica?
    But if Antarctica really is heaven, I don’t want to go to heaven after all.

    We are all waiting to be woken up
    By the one who let us fall asleep

    In a previous life I was Jack
    but thanks to Caitlin Jenner
    I’ve transgendered into a woman
    I’m out of the closet
    No longer a skeleton
    Obesity saved me from that

    Juanita
    You can’t beat her
    She’s an emancipated woman
    was stuck in the prison of a man’s body
    now reborn as a gal

    What is art?
    And are you an artist?
    Or should I say, have you discovered the artist within?
    I think Art is very underrated.
    It bridges the gaps between the science of psychology and the dogmas of religions.
    It attempts to express that which conscious thought can’t express.
    It goes beyond rational thought.

    Dear Juanita:

    You … make me want to be a poet and come up with the magic you produced here. The hell poem… written like a child, a child’s mind. How many people can do that? Not many, I say. Hardly anyone at all. To write like you were a curious child, thinking with a Beginner’s Mind… refreshingly creative, original, authentic, honest and entertaining.

    “Juanita, you can’t beat her…” I love this one. True, you can’t beat her. Like me. Like you wrote about me…

    The artist within… and the meaning of life toy, I have to google “Rubik’s cube”-

    And a kangaroo is finally mentioned by the Aussie that you are, totally… cool, a roo. I wish there were roos here..

    You can’t beat Juanita! You are a TREASURE, Jack or Juanita, man or woman, in the closet, outside, emaciated or 1000 mg or kg…

    I am so very straight, and I guess it was from one of the above poems that got me thinking gay, anyways, I joined in a wrote a silly gay riddle

    it would be odd to be gay for a day
    i wonder, can i be born gay for just one day?
    If I did, could I be gay in my house?
    Would my friends think it odd if I brought a mouse?
    I wonder if they would think twice
    or even notice my new device?
    Does that change my identity like totally, will “trans” be attached to me?
    Will I be the face of gay for a day? for the days which I will not be gay
    I find that offensive! Discriminatory and where are my rights!!!
    Had I more daylight in the day, I would stand up and fight,
    Where shall I go to try out gay for a day?
    and why only for one short day?
    If it were up to me I would say be gay everyday

    I sometimes think gay people have a 6th sense
    an extra eye, a more insightful view
    of life and the world

    oh ya? I dont know really. I would guess though that they are more likely to navigate the new age route
    for spirituality.Dont meet too many conservative gay folks talking about a third eye or…lol…. I will say the most charming and nice looking well educated men have been gay..and I am like seriously, you want that over this? But you would be so good for the heterosexual dating pool!! go figure

    Dear Juanita:

    I googled Rubik’s Cube, of course, I know what it is and this makes me understand your kangaroo poem, beautiful, another beginner’s mind poem, simple and profound… your poems, non pretentious, and as such, they are uncommon, unusual, rare. “I’ll have to buy the book to figure it out”- people do that, I did, buy the books to figure it out, only there is no book. I am impressed by your poetry, Juanita, again: simple (child’s/ beginner’s mind( and profound, the combination of the two makes for a very potent delivery.

    * Melissa: I was thinking: “gay in a house… with a mouse” as Dr. Seuss fan and there it was the word mouse. I like the rhyming. I didn’t understand the exchange about gays, spirituality, conservatism but it’s okay, I don’t have to understand everything… nice sounding poem!

    Dear Juanita:

    I googled Caitlyn Jenner you mentioned in your poem. Born as a man, now a woman. Here is your poem above:

    n a previous life I was Jack
    but thanks to Caitlin Jenner
    I’ve transgendered into a woman
    I’m out of the closet
    No longer a skeleton
    Obesity saved me from that

    Juanita
    You can’t beat her
    She’s an emancipated woman
    was stuck in the prison of a man’s body
    now reborn as a gal.”

    Now I am thinking this is humor, as Jack and Juanita are known for being as funny as hell. Yet, later there was a discussion of gayness (this word is funny to me, gayness) so I decided to start a thread right after this comment “On Homosexuality”- will write as I think.
