Rooks And Knights
Where in the realm are the true, dashing gents as the rest of us get pushed into gutters?
“A Lot Can Change…”
I’ve seen plenty of the detrimental kind.
(Dirt Cheap – Cody Johnson)
Nature’s Love
I cut back the property roses to keep them healthy, and now they are blessing us with tons of pink gaeity.
My youngest supported my getting our vegies into pots, despite the warnings our efforts could be for naught.
The snow peas that had waited too long in their 6-packs are producing fast and furious.
We’ve gotta strategize for our somehow continuum, even in the face of oblivion.
(Live Like You Were Dying – Tim McGraw)
It’s Official
Lamdlord is raising rent as high as he can.
(Broken – LovelyTheBand)

“Remain level-headed and work through issues with a purposeful mindset, and to keep calm and not panic. It can also mean that there will be a fresh start, and you should buckle down with assurance.”
“Respect”
Bowing to those who cannot “see” amounts to propagation of blindness.
(Goodbye – Imanbek & Goodboys)
Pair-Bonding
There are so many reasons for relationships to not work – but only one reason for validity that should ultimately matter.
What Is This Feeling?
A burbling undercurrent building to erupt into hysterical sobbing or outrageous laughter.
“Shhhhh,” I remember my once-beloved’s mother cautioning me, for in that culture, women are not permittted valid candor.
Altruism
When I advocated for the community back in 2004 and related, there was nothing in it for me – I could not gain nor retain housing.
Choosing Sides
I dislike being forced to take up a cause.
No Accounting
There is currently no accountability for the insidiuos war being waged upon our communities where hard-working families are discounted as housing priority.
Displacement
If it happens, this will be our 6th since 2011.
Who is gaining all of the benefits from loss?
Caught In The Crossfire
Housing stability seems to be a fantasy and only acquirable for those with beyond their means.
And you can’t just throw shelter at somebody that does not match who they are and thus lacks supports of their spiritual needs!
Self-Determination
I chafe at having to “rely on the kindness of strangers.”
Quote from Blanche DuBois in A Streetcar Named Desire, starring Jessica Lange.
Actress Of The Day: Jessica Lange
GRRR
When the heck are my nerves going to heal?
It’s almost been already a year!
(One Of Them Gitls – Lee Brice)
Beast
My mountain wolf takes care of me
Burly-sleek, it’s pelt shines in the sun
When accidentally bumps concrete curb
It climbs up and over as if there isn’t one!
(Crack Cocaine – Billy Morrison, Ozzy Osbourne, and Steve Stevens)
So Weird
I knew it could get rough come this Spring term – for that is the nature of resistance when one must divert from established explorations.
But to experience such polar oppositions between which I’m trusting intuition as it guides me to places I’ve never known of before seems unprecedented!
Dear Alex,
By my walking through that door, we both knew that I was looking for you.
1:33AM
For as much as I yearn to return to my bed early, I don’t much indulge.
“Miss-Coordination”
It’s not that I’m worried about loosing our housing, or anything…
Inequity
Those that have more than one house do not seem to stand up for those who do not have even one.
Instead, they eat the cream from others’ labor right off the top – leaving what little remains in a state of rot.
Against The Odds
You know those video games where you leap from and onto shifting platforms trying to go forward and upward while things are being thrown at you to bonk you off and crash you down by gravity?
Yep.
That’s my life.
Leaping against and despite adversity.
(Venus – Bananarama)
Altered Ambulation
I no longer lift from quads when walking, but extend from the back of my legs as I slide-push forward, extending from glutes and lower hamstrings.
Pope John Paul II
An amazing, rippling, luster-petaled white rose with incredible smell that now once I read its name feels weird to inhale!
“A Dime, A Dozen”
Just go pick your younger version.
I’ve got better things to do than pine for past seasons.
(Relate – For King & Country)
“Production For Use”
No matter what our desperations, we must overcome our baser reactions as humanity.
We must use our production wisely.
(Title phrase from movie His Girl Friday with Cary Grant, Rosalind Russell, and Ralph Bellamy.)
(Cough Syrup – Young The Giant)
Negative Reinforcement
At some point, traumatic response becomes the mainstay when circumstances keep conspiring.
Shaking Hands
This is likely going to get worse before it gets better.
I can feel circumstances converging, with us caught in the middle.
The landlord’s child is looking for housing for school locally – and we all know what that could mean when renting the landlord’s one local property.
It happened to us last time, our prior landlord wanting to rent to students, making us homeless.
F*ck brain trauma and all of this destabilizing.
Cutting Hair
It wasn’t about self disgust or anything like that.
It was a pushing back against societal messaging of who and what she “should” be.
It was about reclamation of her identity’s space, and the right to liberate her spirit from the chains of conformity.
Dear Alex,
In a dream.
Some conversation of premise, allowing assessment of scent while drawing close.
A brief embrace, fingers touching chin, inhaling as answer undefined question.
“Yes.”
Tendons
The great reveal.
The Moving Game
May we please have stable housing?
