Herstory Repeating

 Brain warms, see? Angry, arrabiata, constantly

spicy, talking to myself and many, many

inanimate things that don't

PICK THEMSELVES UP AROUND HERE!

Cravings, ravings, maybe a little snack would

help? Thirsty, snapping, napping, and sweating,

getting older is not a joke.

Thickening, sickening, 

high volume and low vibrational

at the same time? The whole deal

is split mind and too many places

for the pieces to go, and I don't know.

Maybe I will have a snack

and a cold coffee. And sit wondering why

my skin got so dry and how alien

it feels to be me, still being me.

The Bomb Threat

 The state police outside the building

in the morning gave me

a mild touch of alarm,

but so what? 

Their presence was neutral

and not one of harm.

The email that told us

to "shelter in place"

was so calmly, thoughtfully

written as if to give space

to the possibility of

calamity. It was

necessary, but

not to create panic because

in reality,

such threats are commonplace,

and mostly bullshit.

If they really intended it--

would they even make

a threat? 

Living in interesting times. 

Everything is a 

long risk bet.
