Excerpt of the Stuff of Life
No time to post. Schools now out and baseball season looming. Andrew has 49 scheduled games. Most at least 1-2 hours driving time away. One tourney in another state! South Dakota! Crapola!
That was almost like a haiku.
Anyway, lots been going on. Track, work, lawn care...you know the stuff of life.
I've been using facebook mostly as my graduating class was setting up our 25th reunion. That was last night. What a great time we had. Too much alcohol was consumed. And we didn't get home until 4:30 or 5 a.m. My usual time to get up. Felt weird and good.
I stayed up for awhile after I got home. Unwinding. Went outside. There had been a downpour earlier in the evening and the air was soft and the birds singing and it was beautiful outside. I wished for a newspaper and a steaming cup of coffee. Instead I sat for a moment on our porch and thought about our party and tried to will the remaining alcohol in my bloodstream to waft away. Unfortunately most of it stayed and when I woke up later I had a teeny hangover. Just felt a little drunkish yet. Nothing bad but I bet I'll be tired later.
Well, laundry beckons and the lawn and the dishes and the flowers need watered and the fridge needs cleaned out and I need to vacuum and dust. hmmmm maybe

A hot bath some cold beer and hair dye make me cry happy tears of joy



CAUGHT IN REFLECTION


I think about how to measure
the worth of one's self
at the weirdest times
hunkered down
studying the lines of my feet
trimming the faded pink nails
almost always
these clean spare moments
dash to pieces
the crystal sphere of truth
I've held in esteem
becoming shards that wickedly,
in snaggle toothed grinning
catch my face in reflection
as they lie in final throes
twitching on the ground

  • I LOVE to cut my hair with my kids old Fiskars Scissors at midnight outside on my deck and I DON'T CARE!
  • I LOVE documentaries so DO NOT bother me when I'm watching one.
  • I LOVE to take long hot lemongrass scented baths with a dog eared book and stay until I'm pruney.
  • I LOVED being a nurse and now I LOVE to run a coffee shop instead.
  • I HATE to sleep but I LOVE to nap.
  • I write what I want to write when I want to and if you don't like it I'll redo the whole thing and apologize...WHEN HELL FREEZES OVER!
