“Why didn’t you help me?” she asked him, plaintively.
“You never asked me…”

“Why you draggin,’ dragon?”
Hungry
“Out of pizza.”
I Don’t Know Why
“I have often thought long socks up a guy’s lower legs covering the entire calf to be an oddity.”
Hunched On A Fence
“Recommended, but to limited time framing to minimize pain’s growing discomfort – and questioning of whatever social standing.”
Super Troopers
“I kind of preferred the older father/younger grandfather who had rallied four young children for an hour and a half (heard by his verbal decree as they labored onward) to get ready and go out with him on their bicycles – although one really can’t compare the prior to this scenarios.”
And Then,
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.”

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.”

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.
