Keep your mouth shut. Stupid! Don’t say anything. Just go with the flow. Zip it! Shut it! Pipe down. Leave it alone, Shut it. Who do you think you are? Keep your mouth shut. Your thoughts are not important. Your feelings are not valid. Shut your hole. Don’t let your emotions grow. Shut up! KeepContinue reading “Shut it!”

Waste not. Want not: DIY
This poem is being written in stages to highlight the things I do toward frugal living. Do it yourself but don’t make a mess. Don’t cause yourself extra stress. Know the extent of your abilities. Work out the best utilities. Sometimes you save money letting the pros handle life. In the end, causing you lessContinue reading “Waste not. Want not: DIY”
“You got more gray hair than I do!”
I was sitting in my hotel room reading when, “You got more gray hair than I do!” Rang out loud and clear. Imagine, you arrive at your destination. High school, family reunion, see an old friend, you pick the reason. You are smacked right off the bat with, “you got more gray hair than IContinue reading ““You got more gray hair than I do!””
Not about me
I’ve been struggling of late. Emotions I hate. ~ I got invited to a wedding. Second try. My, oh my. ~ I attended the first. Maybe I’m the curse. ~ The struggle is this, single at a wedding is amiss. ~ Should I get over myself and support this bliss? Should I suck in theseContinue reading “Not about me”

I’m a big fan of science fiction. It fuels my imagination and makes me think. Some devout Christians dismissContinue reading “The Science Fiction Equation”
A scent that stirs
You had a very distinctive smell. Tonight, did you come visit me? Just a quick hello. To make sure I’m okay. I deeply inhaled the scent, that reminds me so much of you. A scent I hope I never forget. It brings tears. I close my eyes and breathe again. “hi, dad. Thanks for visitingContinue reading “A scent that stirs”
Insides are falling out
Written: 4-2-2023 As I sit here on the couch, it feels like my insides are falling out. Chico doesn’t care if I’m a grouch. Come on menopause! Can you hurry up and get out? Time sitting here isn’t waisted. Laundry in the washer. E-mails checked. Surveys answered. Think I earned a quarter. Not moving forContinue reading “Insides are falling out”
I’m an island
I’m an island unto myself. I can see many things from my shelf. ~ Mind your words. Know your place. Don’t get out of your space. ~ I’m an island. Many things here are grand. ~ But you’ll never know. Hurricanes take their toll. Sometimes many all in a row. ~ Objects get close butContinue reading “I’m an island”
