2003-07-27 : The Perfect Poet: Lindsey Dene Gertz
To all of my beautiful friends. The original ten, you know who you are. Here is LDG's poem for all of us.

"Divine Intervention"

Divine intervention

Crossed our paths

For my friends arrived from heaven

See ya later alligator

Have we ever been in the right place

at the right time?

The ten are amazing

Shagging on the beach

in the middle of the night

The zodiac on steroids

Don�t know why we fit together,

But our personalities

Are the ingredients to a full and happy life

How could I describe you all?

It would take forever.

Self-sufficient and odd

In a beautiful way

Quotes from books taped to the walls

An All-American Jim Beam kind of boy

Basketballs and barbeque

Moody, but hilarious

A theatrical redneck chewing tobacco

Wearing confederate flags

Ate too much rice, gravy, and pecan pie

There�s a little bit of all of you inside of me

Lover of nature, children, and adventure

Natural anthropologist

The world rests her head in your lap

The listener is a storyteller

And a cigarette psychiatrist

There are things to be seen in the distance

The calm in the midst of the storm

Margarita Princess

In a beautiful garden

Butterfly changer

And porch swing philosopher

Following the wind as she calls

The river rocks

Rugged and cool

And sad in his own little way

Tiptoeing up the stairs

Like a warm cup of coffee with Kahlua

Sugar Magnolia

The muses are crying

To the dilettante architect

Of thoughts and dreams

May God bless our souls.
