want of warmth (Haiku) by <~>
he sees me as green but in this cold, he chooses to keep with his gray

Up the ladder: Worldly Wise
Down the ladder: For Horus

What does "pah" mean? I am at a loss when it comes to the spelling of verbal utterances.

actually, both of my sisters were on that show. i dropped the competitive thang early on, so i never even tried to. they got shorted too. it's a fucking conspiracy, h. um, i mean baba. here, help me get him down. <they ease hector to the floor, and begin to kick him. he scampers away and returns almost instantly with a shaker of grey goose martinis. shamed, we lavish him with praise, and continue our interview.>

*wish 1: i would wish for a smart, kind man, who acts based on truth and gets my jokes. one who puts up with me and doesn't kick me out or leave.

wish 2: "o give me land lots of land under starry skies above...don't fence me in"...i'd run a wildlife preserve, if i could.

wish 3: i will hang onto my 3rd wish, until i need it. i don't need anything more than what i have right now, and needing and wanting are incredible disparate modalities, wouldn't you agree, baba?

*(revised, after consulting with my friend who has been lucky enough to find a partner who suits him)
