I'm over here and totally at a loss as to what this is all about. On
Suzanne's part, bad poety for sure.

You realise, you are not alone. I suspect Suzanne is as well, & I'm
muddlin through.
As to the poety, I can't call it that. Poetry moves people, & not
towards the waste basket.
Rhyme perhaps?

walksalone who has to admit, when in a conversation with Suzanne, I
always have to remind myself as to which way the exit is.

Why be born again, when you can just grow up?
