farewell to a place

So good bye lake
Good bye fishes

Goodbye daddy long legs
Goodbye trees bending in the breeze

Goodbye RC boats
Goodbye wavers

Goodbye Amish bench
Goodbye Digger

Goodbye little cemetery
Goodbye bears

Goodbye and goodnight
I’ll see you when I can

Like in some afterlife
All tan in the water

Toe Beards

Shaved my toe beards today... don't really know why they're there, but I don't like them.

Also, sis had her surgery and is f-i-n-e-fine! Well, except for the excruciating pain, but she’s hooked up to the morphine pump so she’ll be okay tonight as long as she uses it.

If it were me, I’d never stop pressing the damn button. In fact, upon entering her room, I promptly asked if I could split the bag open and have a drink, but was immediately denied. Sad face… :(

daily agenda

Haircut @ 11:00

lunch (?) w/ the sis

an amazing ability we have is not ever knowing what's going on until it's actually going on and we're in the thick of it. Drives my mother nuts which is always a bonus.

Overheard an interesting conversation at work yesterday, a group of people we’re simultaneously blocking the refrigerator and talking about bowel movements. One guy said that he’d been going so much less - my red alert grammar bells were ringing, and I successfully fought the urge to correct him; partly because my own grammar skills aren’t the best and I wasn’t 100% sure that he was incorrect. Still, it was an interesting conversation to bare witness to if only for the fact that my own bowel movements have decreased in frequency too…

thoughts on the day that was

Hot heat sucking through the walls; meeting exposed, swamp back-marking again this insufferable summer.

An animal smeared in the streets, bubblegum pink and gray fur-insides on the outside.

The uncertain future displayed in a flash of annoyance-too many questions and not enough patience.

Melons in a paper cup, cut with skill; good but could’ve been better.
