Driftwood at the River's Edge

<p>Like driftwood words phrases and severed sentences come floating by. Part fisherman part scavenger I spread my net and rescue these bits of debris from the deep. I can't say why certain severed statements catch my eye. Floating fragments of meaning they sparkle and speak to me. And by a peculiar lure beyond my conscious ken they sometimes come together. The pairings are not always opportune. Some sniff at each other's nether parts in passing as dogs do and promptly part in pursuit of other more enticing scents. But on occasion something clicks. This is my second published assemblage of such felicitous couplings. Some readers may relish the result. If not just toss it back into the tide.</p><p><br></p><hr><p><br></p>
