The past goes right on pulling me apart, though I can scarcely remember the people or the issues.
The family is on its way out; couples go next; then no more keeping cats or parrots.
Creativity makes a leap, then looks to see where it is.
A free spirit must be able to surmount anxiety time after time.
Wisdom cannot prevent a fall, but may cushion it.
The haiku lets meaning float; the aphorism pins it down.
