We learn about life not from plusses alone, but from minuses as well.

Until
No
Getting of
On the cheap
The tally
Is on the sheet
The minuses outweigh the plusses
Until payment is exacted
And the ledger
Even.

At The Birthday Party Of My Sister
she had her storms the past few months
her husband
sired a baby with another woman
and she cried in all these blunders
events she cannot accept at first
the seas will be rough
and she will be in a boat where she will find it hard
to move and breathe
she sails and she is now back home
to her senses
it is her birthday today and my brother-in-law greets her
with a kiss and perhaps more promises
she will smile with the guests
us and the rest will cheer her and sing her
a birthday song
all along we pretend that we do not know a thing
about the storm
whether there were those who sank and drowned
and counted as a number
a casualty
who wns who loses
we cannot count with our fingers the
minuses and the plusses
the party goes on with more food,
desserts and
hard liquor
we pretend all along that we do not know a thing
like life
my dear sister, life goes on
stick with it, let them those who hurt you
sink and be forgotten
the sea is calm you might as well decide to take your
happy swim
or just take a dip and wet
a part of your lip
see? nothing happened and those that happened
have become
stories merely not even wanting to be told
repeatedly,
we are merry
we have decided to be happy.

The minuses of celebrity include having to live with security and the knowledge that you may be stalked.
I am treating you as my friend asking you share my present minuses in the hope I can ask you to share my future pluses.

My version, of course, is not this flag-waving, let's all get on the Jesus train and ride out of hell. I'm not that kind of guy. It's an embrace that life is good, worth living and yeah, it's not easy, but there are more pluses than minuses.

Audit
On borrowed time I might stay
As multiplying aches abound
The will is there but I must say
Each day's reprieve keeps me around.
This old machine's dilapidated
I've earned my full life depreciation
The strength is slowly being debited
My books are due for investigation.
To heaven I'm ready for my accounting
The plus and minuses will rate me
But sure I did my best in living
And my fees are paid for in eternity.

Do Not Forget The Sad Times
do not forget the sad times
make an album
of your tears
and fears
give them the captions
and tell yourself
i have learned, i have grown, i will learn some more,
i am strong, i want to be strong some more,
i have fallen, i am rising,
so do not forget the harsh times
the sad moments, recall them, relish them
learn, learn
surely, you will miss them again
your teachers leaving you some marks
A plusses
some more A+, sir and ma'am

It's All Mathematics
You+me=understanding
Us+understanding=communic ation
Communication+understanding=a bond
A bond+loyalty=love
Love+commitment=togetherness
A bond understanding togetherness,
Between you and me...
Equals communication and love.
It's all mathematics that minuses dramatics!
There can be no division once we've made this decision.

I’m in my own I
Phew whew scrap trash
Mega bytes of biblios audios visuals
Pouring every millisecond
From all comers luring
Strange and uncalled for
And unforced for!
Why be prey to that?
As I wish I’ll be
Sociable but
Why be Socialite? ~ Lol!
Why elude equate in
Plus minuses of calories
Curves crevices pop outs
Vital stat to satiate others’
My oomph appeal by
Lingerie lulu ~ sucks up ~ lololuuud?
Socialites personages
Of Page Three
Party animals nocturnals
Stay boozed binged in
Satiating their un-fillable bulimia
For libido lucre gloss glitter!
I’m no petite Page Three
But nonpareil Page A~One
I’m happy with e’er full
Innate richness of my
Ace alto audio of abode ~
Stop Opiumed by Opinions Of Others.

Glossary with humility I’m giving what I tried to express:
Alto ~ The pitch range of the lowest female voice
