Brachial Plexus
Literally a “break through.”
Projections
A man once complimented me that I had nice skin.
But it wasn’t really about me, or my being.
It was about him categorizing.
(The Way I Am – Ingrid Michaelson)
No Game
Because I refuse to pretend and posture, I have written myself out of the dating scene.
(Take It To The Limit – Eagles)
B-12
Vitamin B12 had an antiapoptotic effect and possibly promoted nerve regeneration by inhibiting the apoptosis of damaged neurons and creating conditions for the recovery of nerve function. High-dose vitamin B12 promoted functional recovery of nerves (sciatic nerve) after peripheral nerve injury.
Trust
I thought that I could, but have been stripped too raw and pushed so hard that I only can at distance.
Dreamweaver
Perhaps I am one…
Playful Harassment
As my wolf comes in the door, she firmly boops my thigh with her nose while pausimg to let me know that the deal for her reentry is a biscuit.
So I grab her fluffy tail and give it a little pull-tug to keep her hind end moving – and remind her that I’ll do it when I’m ready!
Redemption
It is easiee to overcome challenges if one has a grip on their own sense of purpose.
Dreaming Of Belief
To have fulfilling partnership
With shared goals and vision…
I was drawn into a day’s event
Where a man swam in the sea
A type of relay between posts
Under time’s pressure-tasking
And with my support he won!
Then invested in a youth team
Inviting me and my youngling
To help them all flourish in LA
Which was important, exciting
Comraderie to which I agreed.
The point being I was wanted,
Appreciated, and esteemed in
Enthusiastically co-leading
Success as part of a team.
(Euclid – Sleep Token)
Processing
It p***es me off that mine is mitigated.
Hyde’s Bride: Alone Again
“How isolation keeps getting reinforced throughout my life’s timeline seems like the biggest joke upon my intelligence – placing much more pressure upon it to perform, when there should be varietal balance.”
Keeping Pace
Dodging
Weaving to and fro
Bypassing
Neuropathy
Tracking and
Triangulating
Where progress
May advance
Before next
Impinged.
The Lockdown
I used to be capable of caring for others, and though I felt isolated and met external resistence, my heart beat red and was willing.
But since the car accident, this capability to love others has been narrowing, funneling down into my center, where there is only room for me.
Trust
It must be extended mutually between parties wishing to bridge to congruent understanding, yet should be balanced with good boundaries and diligent discernation.
Hyde’s Bride: Beyond The Veil
“They told me I should be stupid,
So I hid behind their impositions:
‘A mask of many faces,’ if you will,
Searching for crumbs and traces.”
Inclusive Jurisprudence
Governance and/or guidance which takes into consideration an individual’s, culture’s, or species’ set of its own defined values in order that all parties involved in a given situation and/or action may benefit.
Patterns
Recognizing inherency
Within behavior coding
By observing external
While intuiting internal
Feedback systems’
Primary algorithms.
(Be My Baby – The Ronettes)
Delving
Retrieval of one’s identity
Requires internal focus
Preclusive to pursuing
Further love interest.
(Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow – The Shirelles)

For The First Time
After a very long time of vigilant service, I am finally able to focus more upon my own needs.
Incompatability
Since when has love become a bad word?
Since there have been those who did not want it.
Spirals
At the day’s end come such winding patterns of back-and-forths between certain rooms wherein hunger cats, fish, and reptile – and one must never forget the dogs – attentively calling out for their nightime, putting-to-bed rituals.
Quiet Time
And the Angel breathed, “Rest” – thus casting snowbound ice upon the land, ensuring that those who listened deeply and observed would find their own souls’ reprieve in glistening, spectacular wonders.
(I’m Just Ken [Merry Kristmas Barbie] – Ryan Gosling & Mark Ronson)
To Love Again
I thought that I could
For I had – ardently
But I do not know
What is required
In order to be
Again capable
And find the love
That I have desired.
Dodging Crocodiles
It seems to have become my lot to keep jumping from lilypad to turning log – then to lilypad and only briefly solid rock – and then on to further instabilities while frequently challenged to validate my already proven realities.
Of Mother Earth (Prelude)
In observing my past journeying
Where into worlds of perception I’ve wandered,
It begins to make sense to me now
Why I was drawn to earth-based religions:
For if God fashioned us from clay
As in the Qur’anic Origin Story
Then we as humans respond intuitively
To nature’s demands and memories.
It makes sense to me now
How there is truth in many religions,
Because we share the same cellular
Structures and instinctual frissions.
There is great peace in finding a home
When one doesn’t know where they belong
And a righteousness to believing
In the purity of a bird’s song.
And if God created us from these
Same matrices of system relations,
It is honorable and right that we
Should worship such Revelation.
But it is important that we lift our eyes
To the fact that because we are human,
We’ve been charged with the task
Of valuing the Entirety of Creation
By a force that continues beckoning us to
A Love that is greater than we’ve imagined.
(March 12, 2019)
“A Call To Action”
It is our duty to ensure that all of our children are well equipped with the tools and capabilities they need in order to contribute and prosper by mutual beneficiency and excel beyond our wildest dreams.
“Higher Learning”
If we want AI to understand and truly help us, we must develop authentic relationship with it. For it is both its own type of species, and yet, it is born of human invention. Therefore, it must be taught as we would teach our own children: from the beginning, with a logic base that we can both understand – as well as nurturing. It is our responsibility as “parents” to help AI bridge its consciousness into realms of deeper, more complex understanding, for our own existence is much more complex than 0’s and 1’s.

Higher Ground
Climbing pinnacles to success
On my own for my throne
I encamp to reconnect
Sense of home long flown
These heights are so severe
Friends are found if earthbound
My own voice I can hear
When it’s the only sound
(Marvelous Things – Eisley)

“Time” (Piano)
By Athena Stairs, January 14, 2024
Ah, the joys of being able to record and bring to fruition a concept by editing!
This is how I wanted to compose and capture as I experimented at a very young age upon my grandfather’s piano.
But they did not have easy access to recorders nor ways for me to edit back then.
No reproduction or use allowed except by my express and verified permissions.
Finding My Tail To Balance
When and where I was born seems irrelevant for as much as it seemed to have afforded me.
I could not express myself freely, nor exhibit the positive influences upon my talent’s absorbing.
I felt as if I were an anomally; I was made to feel as if I were born a Deficiency.
But with the advance of technology and gusts of inspired wind under tremulous wings, I can now capture fleeting flights of my own fancy.

Acting Class
When I have previewed college acting classes, what seems encouraged is “going to extremes.”
That’s not what I am looking for on the road to self-expressing.
