The most perfectly-skinny-tized, leggy-spandexed shorts and cropped top standardized specimen of female beauty with long hair tied back under a baseball cap and expensive perfume trailing after her jogs by, stereotyped to advertise for the established status quo that she is successful and taken – or at least is more than qualified to be.

The Need For Fresh Air
“The smell is everywhere on this ‘non-smoking’ property.”
Maybe,
“I should get three pizzas on discount night Tuesday…
Then they could feed me the entire week.”
Stuck In Place
“I know I should leave.
But I can’t…
Not without help.”
(Dangerous – The xx)
It Irks Me
“That I can no longer be all of the parts that could express their selves in me, had they been given clemency.”
What Use
“Is a secondary bandaid that becomes bound to itself – rather than one’s cut finger?
At least, it was a buffering line of defense, holding pressure against pain until the morning.”

Remember
Within harbored walls
Outside wild surrender
Two shall become one
And fie to any offender
The First To Love
Wild Geese By Mary J. Oliver
You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
For a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting —
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.

A Handmade Costume
“Funny how over time, fabric shrinks…
I know I was never that thin in my adult timeline.”
I Remember
“Looking at dance costumes, wondering what the heck was I thinking -?!!!
I’m a drummer, a musician, a baseline-holding groove machine.
But it was a ton of fun to get up and let my self try it!”
Rage At The Machine
“Oh, yes….
I have quivering, pleading emotions.
But I will not let you see the way I’m needing.”
Tsunami
That trough drop of warning
Where inhaling gathers up air
To let loose internal storming
No other heart can compare
Neap Tide
“When amidst it, one does not know if the tide is coming, or going.”
You
“You’re over there – and then, there.
Behind things…
Repositioning.”
Deep Listening
“There’s so much time and space, but I can’t hear what I am seeking.”
Compression
“I go quiet when things become too hard to bear…
I get tired of getting pushed into losing composure.”
(Brave For You – The xx)
I Suspect
“That there is no ‘right timing.’
But there are plenty of ‘reasons’ to not ‘step up.’
And plenty of obstacles that reinforce our feeling ‘stuck in a rut.””

“I’m sick,” he told her flatly.
“Ok,” she responded, accepting. “Can I come in?”
