SETTLED

On the back seat of his car
He whispered sweet nothings
Soft voice and warm hands
Foggy windows
A give-in night.

Three months later
She sits in class lost in scared-ville
He won't return her phone calls
Or speak to her in the crowded halls.

She had the baby
Graduated a year after her mates
Shows her I.D. at the factory gates
It wasn't pretty or easy
She just did the best she could.

She kissed Suzy
But gave herself to him
Because she was scared
Of how Suzi made her
Feel.

They seldom see each other
But when they do -- she smiles
Then cries at night
She settled and dates men
That she can't
Feel.

Suzi will never
Settle

NOTICE BOARD

Hi SPT readers. I haven't posted anything new in several months. I don't want to post about political issues so until I'm inspired with something new or finish a story ....

Feel free to post comments about something you have read at SPT because I do like hearing from my readers even if it is just a hello. I don't put up my email address because I already get mail from people trying to sell me Viagra which goes straight to the Junk box. :) I do receive notification when someone has made a comment at SPT and I will respond as soon as I can.

The Agenda-Civil Rights

Support for the LGBT Community: While we have come a long way since the Stonewall riots in 1969, we still have a lot of work to do. Too often, the issue of LGBT rights is exploited by those seeking to divide us. But at its core, this issue is about who we are as Americans. It's about whether this nation is going to live up to its founding promise of equality by treating all its citizens with dignity and respect. Federal law should not discriminate in any way against gay and lesbian couples. ... young & old, rich & poor, democrat & republican, black white hispanic asian native american gay straight disable and not disable ... we are and always will be the United States of America. --Barack Obama, (More)
