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”

Waste not. Want not: dinner
This poem is being written in stages to highlight the things I do toward frugal living. Been to the grocery lately. Cause you to have heart failure, matey.

Just die!
I’ve been trying to kill you all my life. But you won’t die. I’ve been stomping on you. Trying to drive you into the ground. But you won’t die. I don’t want you around. You cause heart ache and drama. But you won’t die. I’ve stabbed you with a knife. Shot you with words. ButContinue reading “Just die!”

Trying to get our bearings, shaking off the long drive, as well as taking in the beauty that is New Orleans. Our little group was approached byContinue reading “My first trip to New Orleans”

Clickety clack
Tired. I’m so tired. Here in the muck and mire. < I want to feel – peel – < back to a time when there were no words. Back to a moment when nothing was absurd. ~ My body shivers from the late spring night air. Coupled with the dew clinging to my skin makesContinue reading “Clickety clack”
Old friend
Stick by me old friend, until the end. My companion until this is over. My one true soldier. By my side day and night. You are not the fright. You will not catch me when I fall. You will not comfort me at all. You will not carry me when I can’t walk. You willContinue reading “Old friend”
Crazy kinda rain
Let me tell you what your crazy friend just did. I have a brand new pair of memory foam flip flops. I leave them at work so I have comfortable shoes to walk in when I can go. On those days when the heat isn’t overpowering nor the humidity oppressive. I wore them out toContinue reading “Crazy kinda rain”
