The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases.

Epoch
The belated moon behind a person's back
and the epitome looks to the infinity
for better or for worse.
He is in between the devil and the deep sea.
The familiar erotic sun eloped with the moon
and in the dark sky where the shoe pinches.
To the poetess Mary Nagy for her kindness.

Everybody knows best where his own shoe pinches.
Every one knows best where the shoe pinches him.
Everyone knows where his own shoe pinches him.
Everyone knows best where his own shoe pinches.
No one but the wearer knows where the shoe pinches.
No one knows better where the shoe pinches that he who wears it.
He knows best where the shoe pinches who wears it.
041611D mom at shoe store
at shoe store she fits me
with two sizes over; it flops
and she would calmly ask
'does it fits you right sonny? '
'no mom, i feel like a duck'
'don't worry you'll outgrow it'
she's looking at colors i know
it's not brand name of a shoe
she's very particular on soles
one that won't leave black marks
she keeps floor speck and span
i will leave my shoes by entrance
***
i'm writing my recollection about
my mother as a reminder to mom's
that we kids does keep in mind
lots of things concerning our mom's
and of course we remember at
'MOTHER'S DAY'

No one perceives where the shoe pinches but he who wears it.
If a man's fortune does not fit him, it is like the shoe in the story; if too large it trips him up, if too small it pinches him.
Refuse to Be Driven to Fits
Grab your destiny.
Prepare to mix a recipe...
With a freeing breeze.
And-don't-let-go.
Know you've got the key.
To fulfill your every need.
Choose your life to be...
One-that-flows.
You alone can plant your crop with joy.
If you want it.
And get on it.
You alone can stop that which annoys.
By distractions coming to sit...
To make you bite your lower lip.
Grab your destiny.
Prepare to mix a recipe...
With a freeing breeze.
And-don't-let-go.
Know you've got the key.
To fulfill your every need.
If you want it.
Just get on it.
Refuse to be driven to fits.
Know you're tired of this and quit.
If you want it.
Just get on it.
Refuse to be driven to fits.
Know you're tired of this and quit.
If you want it.
Just get on it.
You alone can plant your crop with joy.
You alone can stop that which annoys.
If you want it.
Just get on it.
And...
Refuse to be driven to fits.
Know you're tired of this and quit.
If you want it.
Just get on it.
And...
Refuse to be driven to fits.
Know you're tired of this and quit.
If you want it.
Just get on it.

Shoe Box
If I take away all my sadness
And cut off all of my problems
While my concerns are blown away
My happiness fits in a shoe box
A size ten shoe box
If I eat my fears with sugar
Then clean my sorrows with alcohol
And I hang my tears to dry
My happiness fits in a shoe box
While I shoot dead my illnesses
And smoke up my doubts
I will bury my insecurities
Then collect my happiness in a box
In a shoe box I keep my smiles
And every time I laugh
I fold my laughter up
Then put it inside my box
Every time my box fills up
I open it up
And let my happiness run loose
Like a smiling drunken goose
If I take away all the bad
And I count every time I had some fun
My box fills up pretty fast
With memories that make me laugh
I only keep my happiness in a shoe box for a little while
I know is not worth it to hide it from the wild
I am the happiest when I’m happy
I laugh the hardest when I love
I learned to look at the brightest side
Happiness is not something you can just go on and hide
I live both with tears and laughters
I just choose to keep my smiles
Tragedies make sweeter my laughter
And tears make my smile much stronger
Happiness is a conscious decision
I have chosen to make this decision
In a shoe box I’ve been keeping my smiles
And every time I laugh
I’ve been folding my laughters up
Then putting them inside my box

I get to actually experience what it would be like to be a psycho, which is not a fun one, or to be a cowboy, or to be a weird character of some sort. For me, it suits me. It suits my personality. I'm an emotional kind of person anyway.

Complex Cinderella
Living in a fantasy world asleep
All her laundry left in a heap
She has a dream of being discovered
Her other life uncovered
Really a wall-flower who never knows what to say
She's not excused from the drudgery of each day
She's a complex Cinderella
Waiting to meet the right fella
Understanding her special dream
Wearing glass slippers is part of the scheme
If the shoe fits wear it
But it's so tight I can't bear it
This shoe was featured in a fashion magazine
It's one you probably have seen
A fairy tale contraption
Wearing it would take some adaptation
Fragile self image she's often left on the shelf
You'll find her sipping tea by herself
Until Mr. Wonderful comes along
She'll be doing housework and humming a song
