my fake persona
your small awkward compliments
sincere and well-meant
how I found myself ashamed
for the first time in my life

a twitching eyelid
in your choice of five tempos –
the neurosurgeon
offers his treatment options
recommending the polka.

Nice floral print sheets.
Shrinkage controlled. Mercerized.
Wrinkle resistant.
Every little bit helps when
you’re sick in bed with the flu.

Claudia McGill Writes Poetry, Did You Know That? 
#296 caught me off guard! And I had to laugh…
All I can say is, I like the polka a lot! So if I had to choose…
Sincerity is often disarming–we so rarely encounter it. (K)
And that is a fact all right.
I very much like the observation about personality types in #293. Good quality, comfortable sheets are one of life’s small pleasures, aren’t they? And I agree that their value is even more emphatic during times of physical discomfort.
For 297, I was thinking of some sheets I had probably 40 years ago. I still remember how perfect they were for a good night’s sleep and felt even better if I were ill. Even looking at them made me perk up.
