items

I told a secret only to N

who knows De and H

who are friendly or chums

with Do and B,

one who hates

one who likes,

better yet,

tolerates me.

Do will probably tell BJ

then E, the head honcho,

as it were,

who will tattle to Je

who will tell C

who will then tell X, Q, U

you

and finally me

something new about me

myself

I have never experienced or

imagined before.

Yet, B may tell A

or H will tell R

who is dating S,

who is the ex almost daughter-in-law

 of Do

 who offend K

 five years ago

 and who today is in the same group

 I am now in

 temporarily

 possibly.

H does know Mo too

who is married to N

who worked with W

who knows BJ

who we all are still on talking terms with

to some degree or another,

except V

and Me

even though they both sort of have

A, passing acquaintance with C,

who liked G

no longer with us,

especially Me

so now she, or he,

hangs with Y, L, and Ma

who no longer hangs with Z.

A and Ta are out

in the cold

more than they

or P

realize

as usual,

usually

hehe

I, me, yours truly

is leaving right now, this microsecond

for Eternity.

Initials

C feels L is dissing her

that AEIOU is supporting him

the five always a unit

apart of the other twenty-one.

S is a proponent of C

which D cannot balance

even when M defected from D's influence.

C wants to xxx with J,

not I

but B and G,

off-putting all involved.

L recently ditched MNOP-

too much of a polysyllabic crew

until O became her own entity

before Y was to replace her

making a new quintet

While Q watches U

and never questions Y.

Z ends the row before F

fails to fulfill his potential

to lead P back to C

as their society

holds they all should be

excepting B, T, E and V

and DMZs

will evermore remain

at the back end

of sequential rows.

New Initials

C, H, L, and I

knew each other before

I knew A and D in a similar situation

although D is not I's favorite

since J came into the picture

halfway through.

E and T stay neutral

but B has too many opinions

like D's

for V and I's taste.

R is too impatient with A

for siding with L and C

in the controversy

in promoting J or S

who now works

with M at TRW

instead of us

something she decided on PDQ

for Y

and I's sakes.

H just hangs out at the YMCA

hoping to dodge the FBI and CIA

and 1040s by the way.

G

I thinks

U and I

C and P

on the sidewalk

wishing Zs would catch up

with O

I feels

in his DDTs

and now missing BVDs.

D made sure H was gone

for good

not to Hades or Bedlam

although the latter would

have left sweetness

in his saccharine mouth

then started in on Z

although swarm

is hard to trace

at most points

along the Trans- American highway

or for him

and a bad joke by C.

J just existed in his quiet way

until a minor point

would cause quietus

to his savvy and soul.

U and S are still deadbeats

in a blank evil-doed eyed

sort of way.

F is peeved

N would name the pet

in such a way.

J listens and wonders why Y

and B or no longer his or her BFFs

which

of course

upsets the F found

at the start of this piece

who is not in the quotient at all,

he or she still can't understand

why Y, L and M

did not invite F

to S's surprise bash

at an AT&T outlet

which C saw as a spy spot

for the old USSR.

I will go to

V's house to see

how A and P are

getting along now

with U in the long run

when they exchanged

their X factored pet

for N"s

and renamed

QT.

How WTF

is that

thought LMNOP

conjoined

in both soul

and spirit

if not in body.

Alphabet Wars

I is mad at A

and all those

who took

their vows, even Y

and sometimes X

but most especially U

for taking A to C

to decide if R and U

were splitting her off from Q

her constant love since the

Gothic 8 replaced 2 as a couple

with W

the double U

that upset I in the first place.

Yet trying to

split LMNOP up

is the hardest task of all

as I and U

had fought over for many centuries

especially since Z

is always the laggard

A or even B

and D, G, T and V,

(well V maybe V) will never be.

Re-Initials  

J is still leaving C

not because of S or N

he feels A is just the better

place to be until he gets

over being pressed by M

to take the I 10 west

where E used to be his third-best friend.

 And F will still want his gas money

while R and K seem

happier in the east

so J feels no real guilt

forward for what

he feels about B, L and D

and how they tripled teamed

so negatively about V semesters ago.

J still dislikes W

despise what the other triplets

X,Y and Z have to say.

Please remember

all of this is on

the QT.     

Mira Loma

J is throwing ham slices

at E while one of them

is dating R heavily

and M nearly got ran over

because of it.

A just slept away

a result of late nights out

with C who cannot hold

his drink since his accident

involving S who just hates

the freeways after the way

B would drive her to see L

or M or J or B

maybe K who is hung up

too much on C

will start seeing G

who is so involved with F

that K may go back to B after all.

D forever waits for inspiration

while I plans to dream longer

than either H or B or C

or even S can hope for.

Letter Codes

M believes C does not exist

as indicated at meetings

they both attend.

But if A, G and S even burp,

the ground they walk

is defied by M,

who just happens to be

her BFFs.

And when N turned

in his report a bit late,

M wanted to place "L"

on his brow a la

"The Scarlet Letter."

T turns away from it all

while E goes silent

since R and U refuse to ask

Y

D whittles his toothpick

into the shape of Idaho

and K is special

as always.

Which reminds I,

O and U

fees are due

but J and O

as a team

refuse the slimy

strong- arm tactics

of WXY

and the terminator

Z

M in the middle

employs to reinforce

to keep and M and H

and P

in line.

N wants to make it

with M

especially when he wears striped dress shirts

with dark plain ties.

This upsets J since he

is not the center of action

as he wants to be

always.

G seems to dress

in the dark,

in the fatal and intense blows

of a Category 6 hurricane

while P never changes his clothing routine

from week to week

and the smell precedes him

by an hour.

Biker boots and argyle socks marks L

a special case

and F has an issue

with baskets

since W and N can never find his, B's, E's and

and T's.

U is unconcerned

and I wants for the new spring catalogue

to make a move on R

in a striped tie and a clean white shirt

all nearly as well-fitted as N"s, O's and P's

Lettering

VJ does not like KY

and his LP about

FDR and the IRA

from the 8ts.

The LBT is not expecting a RSVP

to a BBQ in NYC

but a DVD on a BJ

shows the parallels quickly

if U BYOB.

It is EZ

if U Xs it out:

an FYI: if U answers

PDQ

NOW will declare

him

as easy as ABC.                         

From Z Back to

Today I, not me,

learned

but I,

him or

her

will never tell

anyone but U

that I, me

or maybe it wasn't me

but I,

saw H again today

but she wasn't friendly with N,

who is still married to M

believe it or not,

who will share his house with R,

even though N and M are now married

where when N, M and R shared a house before

west of here

none of them were

with each other at least.

Anyhow R is now seeing S

who dropped E,

or was it the other way around.

A, Mg, O and Ry are back

but in different states of mind

as it were.

They don't even talk to each other

as intimately as they used to.

C from work

made an appearance

and told me

the latest scoop on Sn,

T,

Am,

and

especially Tr.

I must admit I do like him better

than B and J

from work,

although D ranks higher than the other three

as I see it.

I don't know if C knows H

who also works where I do

although he seemed to chat her up

when she was in between him and I,

not me

but I,

in the L-shaped room.

It was an X-rated conversation,

the F word was bandied about

fast and loose,

Z told me

Y and U

later that same day

causing V, a late arrival with P, D and Q,

 to blush coquettishly,

something B would like W to C

no I

me

mean see.

Last, and don't tell a soul,

I

me

him

her?

saw J walking

with K

before they ran into P

and B

and O

causing her to redden again

like V

since they all had been lovers once

when H supervised the U-haul

next to K's market.
