Preventions

Like wild animals, humans have needs that need – despite their being denied.

In such situations, I attempt to meld with my passions, to dance with them and give them consolation.

As I do this and don each one’s attributes and depravities, I learn more about being human – and about how we are capable or incapable.

I learn about our strengths and weaknesses.

And I walk the line between them.

Soul-Starved

I just saw a ritzed-up older woman driving by in front of me, unsure of where she was going, and felt something in me snarl at her for taking so long to get out of my way with her cushioned status.

Why? I wondered. This isn’t like me…

But, apparently, the feral part of me just having dropped off things to the Goodwill (and now reflecting upon such hardships experienced here) has just “Had It!” with feeling entrenched in poverty.

It’s only when you can finally leave a bad situation that you realize how toxic it’s been.

Flat

The evening tapped out before beginning – which I would think odd, for a Friday.

I wanted to just go back to my room and call it a night, but instead, I foolishly went searching for cleaning supplies to prepare the new home for our arrival.

As I walked to the entrance of the store, I had my wallet out to replace my license, after walking the dogs with it in my pocket.

I heard a man whisper, Hey miss! Hey miss!” But it didn’t permeate until I’d passed him.

He was be-scraggled and had a young child in a shopping cart with him, hidden from view of the market staff, so they wouldn’t catch him.

I must have looked like an easy mark – and it made me mad that he was using a child to justify his intent.
