Dolphin swimming up to you ~ Somewhere,
Not too far, off the Coast of Knossos?"

"Her name, too, Delphinium,
Or The Delphic Oracle, if you wish with a fish,
Swish your tail, wag your fin,
And swim well, ambitiously, with ample style, too?"

"... just a wiggle,
And a wag?"

"Hi Twittering ...

I just found out that you have a special
birthday in 2005 .. please tell us what
month and day ... we won't give away
your age."
C.

"How'd you know?
And no,
We should not give our Birthday Date
Information in public. Just ask
Mechante, if you need
To know, for she knows that day of the year.

Last time I spoke
To her, she shafted me my Birthday Day ~ O, so sad
I, when she did that to me,
On my Birthday,

A day that marks both
Our Bdays, if not our years. Live
And learn. Repeat not what kills or maimes,
But remember.

But what does this
Mean ~

Gnoti seauto?"
~ Twittering

A former lover,
A fine person, even if she hurt me.

"My birthday,
How'd you know?"
~ Twittering

"You told us in that
'Suicide Story.'

Well mine's not so secret ~
March, 28, and I'm 6 years your senior."
~ C.

"I'm eighteen years behind in my ironing.
There's no use doing it now, it doesn't fit anybody I know."
~ Phyllis Diller

"Suicide, story, what's that,
For don't you know?
My memory, gone, for a caged cannibal gnawed
All my knowledge, left only bones."
~ Twittering

Hatred's Antidote?

Anger breeds hatred,
Which cripples, festers, harms the host.

A little poison
Cures,
A lot kills or maims, just ask
Paracelsus.

Antidote ~
May be followed by to, for, or against,
An antidote to boredom. An antidote for snakebite.
An antidote against inflation.

"He sold a drug, pretending that it was an antidote
To all poisons, and obtained a great name
For himself by long-winded puffs
And advertisements."

~ Aesop,
From "Fables"

"A short story with a moral,
Especially one in which the characters
Are animals."
~ The Fabulist

"Mechante, who is she?
A former lover,
A fine person, even if she hurt me."
~ Twittering

"Why did you suggest
To ask her?"
~ C.

"'twas an ironic
Aside."
~ Twittering

"I most certainly would not be able
To find
Some mechante woman on this planet
By simply knowing
Her last name."
~ C.

"O, not impossible, if you've other
Clues. But alas,
No need
To find her, unless you think a reason?
If so, please
Say so."
~ Twittering
