“Does he love me because I love?
Or because he loves?”
“Does he love me because I love?
Or because he loves?”
“To avoid remnants of laundry being ruined.”
Somehow, the neighbors’ musty, stinky feet carpeting smell was being drawn into it!
“‘I’m a lost toy!'”
“Toy Story” movie quote, up too early and not sure where I am going now or what I am doing for the next couple of hours…)
“People are lumpy, firm chocolate covered snacky-bits cakelets fall apart as you bite into them without care to their losses onto the floor or down shirt cleavage, and eyes are puffy and wan with longterm worry, sinus pressure, and lack of or interrupted sleep…”
“Pain be damned…”
“I need recovery time that I am just not getting.”
“Like my two big toes got mashed next to their partners.”
“I had to lift and maneuver a big, clunky-resistant trailer the other day.”
“I’d like to think that someday I won’t be in so much pain…
They say that death guarantees that…
But then there’s incorporeal pain.”
“There, but not there…
Nit there, but there…”
She waited there, exposed to the dry heat of criticisms’ vultures picking at anything still barely alive and breathing.
They could laugh and they could cry.
They could chide her and say goodbye.
But still, she remained, sensing what was coming from far beyond the horizon.
“Two hours driving and $30 gas to make $100 = $70 minus taxes.
Still worth it for quality interactions.”
To fly off to work.
Pressure and Pain
“It feels like my light is sputtering.”
“Agitation.”
“The power is cut off for some reason, thereby shutting off any internal electricy such as light, cooking, and air flow modulation – and neighboring smells increase and come into my unit from all atound due to the construction zones large air large hole’s suction below.
“That this once pleasant unit is the one that I had specifically chosen when forced out of my home in desperation?
And now my body and all of my belongings are ash tray soak-choked, while I am offered the pittance of a smaller unit, further displacement into undesirable orientation and more exposure to increased road noise and infiltration of privacy without any loss compensation?
BTW, what’s to stop the same issue from happening at the “new” unit, when the untended factors are still going unaddressed in their influence?”
“It seems that I cannot get out of my own way.”
“Why aren’t you here?!”
“I love how quiet and low-key that we can sometimes be together.”
“Being a canary in a cole mine is overrated.”
“Apparently, the workers starting up ahain brought in greater fumes magnitude – and I am supposed to sleep in it!”
“I figured out why the ash smell is getting pulled into my unit, but not the source of the smell.”
“Must every effort require more to complete – with ever increasing pain intensity?”
“To begin rebuilding separation of issues in my body’s muscularity.”
“Of the knot in the shoe!”
(No matter what I do – untying them gets them tangled!)
“It is too hot to linger – let me tell you that!”
“Selfish and selfless are dependent.”
“Finally bathing clean, to step out of the shower and dry off with a crispy towel reeking of cigarette ash!”
“To get a few free moments to change the batteries in my keyboard.”
“One can still find hidden power.”
She couldn’t let him see it.
No.
She couldn’t just give her self away.
But inside, she begged.
Yes.
Inside, she begged.
“But this is intolerable ‘cruelty.'”
“The air filter draws in more fumes, and the boxes absorbed so much..
Inside cabinets in kitchen and bathroom…
Inside closet and flowing thrrough any wall opening and door/windows opening.
So much for this being a non-smoking community.
The clogging stench of ash tray reek is suffocating.
I feel quite illl near to vomiting, now frequently.
I need to leave – escape to better lodgings.
Yet, still, I keep unpacking and sorting.
Don’t people throw away everything once it’s exposed like this?
I can’t, but keep on dealing with this..”
(Title of multiple meanings)
“Flipped my hand so grasped Q-Tip (TM) went flying.”
“Everything’s Heaven…
Or Hell…
Or something in between…
But what about outside of the boundaries?”
“‘My first rodeo.'”
“They were tying up my injured wings, anyway.”
“To get it, they limit your income, keeping your nose pressed down into poverty – and take it away the moment you make anything beyond that penance limit.”
“We’re gonna make it up as we go!”
(Moving out of storage)
“Struggle and toil…
Struggle and toil…”
“It is difficult to be anyone’s priority when one has always been seen as their provider.”
“If those bouncing springs above me are a couch or a bed’s mattress being bounced upon, but either way…”
