A #throw away
The youngest
Never old enough
Tall enough
Strong enough
The #dream
To #belong
I found you
A lifetime later
Performing
For the world
A part of everyone's
Fantasies
And yet
You only
Wanted me
I'm in the pink...

How am I supposed to drive to work in this mess?

Happy New Year, I guess I'll stay home and write.

Caught in my throat
The words still unspoken

Do I dare release
My one dormant dream?

Winter when the sun
Is a #dream of warmer days

I went to uni with a Kuwaiti prince. We were friends and I didn't know his status. After uni, I was working in London. He kept dropping by to take me to lunch or meet up at the pub. Sometimes he'd drop by the flat. He proposed to me, twice, and I thought he was joking so I just laughed-both times.

Whine.
Whine whine whine.
Whine Whine.

Thank you for your time and attention.

That is all.

Have a great day.

Well my book took a twist tonight. Not altogether unexpected but given i don't outline, nothing is ever planned. Lots of surprises to navigate. Working on character development even if it's laterally. They have to change somehow.

When you read the biography for your latest hospice client...

The mental prep is sometimes a challenge.

I've helped a former president of Bryn Mawr college, an executive producer in the film industry, a pioneer in stem cell research, a US senator...

Everybody has a story.

Work is not
The #solution
To poverty
Poor health
Or any of the multitude
Of problems
Society frowns upon
We've been sold
A lie
That making money
Is the only thing
That counts
That only the wealthy
Are good
And the rest
Are just #durable
Goods to be used
Until they break

You spoke of #travel
As a #sole
Adventure
Your suitcases
#betrayed
Your plans
To leave though
To immigrate
You always wanted
Somewhere warmer
I guessed Greece
Or Italy
The Riviera perhaps
But you'd gone
And bought
A castle
In Romania
A family curse
You said
With a kiss

Just drove home 95 miles. It snowed 3 days ago. Temps have been below freezing for weeks. Roads were somewhat plowed but not great. This morning a storm came in. Temp went up to 38°. It started raining at 3 AM. It's been torrential rain for 14 hrs now. Took 4 1/2 hours to get home. I'm spent.

When the vehicle has 242k miles on it, maybe I shouldn't wait so long between oil changes... 😬

Tired soles, weary soul,
Sole purpose to wake, over
And over to more.

Dylan and Magpie, the only occupants of this area of space, so far away from negotiations and talks breaking down. The #sole human for millions of kilometres in any direction.

Ostensibly on patrol, but this was what it would be like if The Enemy won.

Empty. Without any signs of life.

Sole Trader

I misread the contract.
Thought he desired my sole,
all arch‑logic,
blister ethics,
heel‑born doctrine.
The devil nodded, puzzled as
a cobbler’s apprentice
I walked away lighter,
loose-laced, calf-ached
eternity footsore,
soul intact
but
shoeless.

she’s only gone
and spilled her p o e t r y

it sticks to our fingers
like summer syrups
sings like nectar
upon the tongue

and we simply cannot
bear to clean it up
we’d rather come

Good god. I don't watch football, but my client is and this Bills/Eagles game is going to give me heart failure...

When I see someone who's homeless or begging for help, I've never stopped to ask them how they ended up where they are. I only ask what I can do to help them and what they need. It's never occurred to me they were somehow a bad person. Where did that notion even come from? If one needs help, help...
