  • Fine, you have a point.

    You bring up a good point. Maybe I am agitated. Maybe I am impatient. Sue me. I feel the sass boiling and surging through my veins. My gut reaction is a haughty one. I feel like a grumbling elementary school girl. So, okay, sorry.

  • Up from the Well (It’s Lonely in Limbo)

    It’s lonely in limbo. So I invite you to be restless and unsettled and unkept with me.   I’m looking up from the bottom of a well. I can see a shadow of a figure far above. You. You can’t hear me directly. You only hear the echoes of my voice, secondhand, hearing my distortions…

  • Three S’s: the New Rule for (Successfully?) Navigating Men

    I was sent a great way to frame how to view the menz and have to share it with the world. So-and-so gave my friend “a good way to think about and classify guys and help decide if they are worth our time.  A man should have the “Three Ss” for us to be interested – he’s…

  • Untitled, Of Course

    If you call you’re just like him If you don’t call you’re just like him If you call but not in a timely manner you’re just like him If you’re tall you’re just like him If you have a decent sense of humor you’re just like him If you are a permanent bachelor you’re just…

  • Ode to Pumpkin Bread*

      the sweetness of you the moistness the “yes” I feel in my veins, soul when I take a bite of you the hominess my grandmother my mother instant comfort   *made by poeticgrin  

  • Peripheral Vision

    I think my issue with men may be that I examine the periphery too much and don’t focus on the core of the person. You want to know why I like this one guy? 1) He’s tall, and 2) He uses Bookman Old Style as his email font of choice. I think he probably cuts…

  • Confession

    I hid him from you because I knew you’d see right through him…and me. Poeticgrin, there was no way you’d accept a suiter who was of X political affiliation and who once said, “Man, I don’t know, I think Bush got a raw deal.” Such mindlessness, I was ashamed for you to see either of…

  • Finding a Point of Reference

    I was thinking last night. Whenever you’re trying to assimilate an event or a relationship into your history, you have to basically write out the story of it/you so that it reads like a history book. I feel as though I’m at the point that I am really turning the page on him, but I…

  • Weariness

    My muscles aren’t just tired, my bones are tired. A twelve-hour workday will do that. I’m being evaluated by an outside evaluator. Aren’t they always outside? He doesn’t seem to be malignant.  I am going to bed in 42 minutes. Whether certain people with English monikers call or not. I will not give another man…

  • Six +

    Echoes off the walls off brick and cinder block gunshots, the cell closing six lives gone lost plus the children plus the parents plus the ones who cared plus the ones who were only maimed plus all those who didn’t know and never will
