Giving Thanks from The Juice Bar!
“Gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received.
Thankfulness is the natural impulse to express that feeling.
Thanksgiving is the following of that impulse.”

“MY LIFE THIS WEEK” by Bob Abramson
I feel like I’ve been led down the primrose path.
It started like a new beginning was unfolding.I was told I was a great friend, why don’t we take it to the next level?When I responded of my inadequacy, you left me like the wind.The table was set, but for others.Being left out of all the love in your house at Thanksgiving was going to be hard to take.It appeared to your friends that you were enamored with a young marine.You denied it.Funny, he got the invite, I got left in the cold.Time to move on.Happy T.

Happy Thanks & Giving From The Juice Bar!!
“For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.”
Happy Thanksgiving from The Juice Bar!

“He who thanks but with the lips
Thanks but in part;
The full, the true Thanksgiving
Comes from the heart.”

“Mock, Paper, Scissors” by L. K. Thayer

I defy you to intimidate me
with your blankness
your off-whiteness
cold and aloof
lying there, laughing
waiting for me to fill you up
making me do all the work
you are a slutty virgin
a white mirage of
pretentious purity
I want to make you bleed
with my pen and pencil set
with no regrets
I detest your stare down
only I am left blinking
eyes watering
as you shred me
so thin and frail and easy
to destroy, crumple you up
and toss you to the fire
but you are
the stronger arm
wrestler
the one who taunts me
who begs to be conquered
I will bloody you
til my bones weep
carve out my insides
like a
Thanksgiving
feast
