Hey silent lotus. Been awhile! Nifty poem! Better than Dan’s stuff but don’t tell him I said that. LOL. Think I was at table 7 when this whole scene went down. I don’t know though, most of my life has been a blur if ya know what I mean.
dear Leeza yes i remember how gently you place your lips to your fist before you roll the dice 7 ... your lucky number your secretes about Dan always remain safe with me silent lotus `
