Held

‘She lets me hold her She lets me know her And she lets me come apart’ – “Simple Grace,”    The Ruse I’m not sure I’m so great at this           with Jeff. Am I there for him no matter … Continue Reading

Cockroaches

Jeff said recently that I am          “relaxed-deficient.” I wasn’t sure      whether I should laugh                          or agree;           I think I did both – along with a crooked face                                                         of frustration,                                        … Continue Reading

Dinosaur

Maybe I am a dinosaur.      Lyrics to songs           weren’t always available                                 instantly                                        from Google                                           or Soundhound. Many of my CDs and cassette tapes – yeah, yeah, dinosaur –           came without printed lyrics.      But … Continue Reading

Cursor

I have read studies     and heard various views           about tactile learning,                   but I wasn’t able to identify it in myself                                  until recently. I probably appear to be ignoring           the world around me                as I … Continue Reading

(Un)interesting

I keep trying to write something interesting                                             fun                                             cute                                             whatever,                         but I am very uncreative tonight.                         (More than just tonight, I think.) There are lots of beginnings and                       stop-starts, … Continue Reading
