Hope - The Exchange Still Goes On

Hope - the essence of
life or a ladder to
morrow yet to come?
- Max

Hope the seed lying
in wait for rain a thousand
years neath desert soil.
- Alaka

A coconut starts
on a transoceanic trip
driven just by hope.
- me

Hope: kittens thrashing,
mewing, drowning in potty -
alive for a week.
-Max

Hope is a woman
of forty still eager for
a marriage and kids.
