there will be no more disasterous

(relief. release?)

'don juan's reckless daughter' plays
jaco reaches out

the risk had to be kept at arm's length
to be sure of my place


Sometimes it flows, but a lot of times it's blocked by concept.

a few questions from today

Why did I ever think that I'd figure out what to do with those lone socks?

Just by smell, what do you think is rotting in that closet - bird, mouse or snake?

Wow, I really did enjoy that Don Ho album at one time, didn't I?

games, tapes and toys

nobody wants
my
rubber chicken

translations and mathmatics

but it's all music
isn't it
and the diminuendo
is deafening

It's a(n absurd) thought.

I realized that I could explore a cliche. The Fed Ex guy has been flirting with me and even followed me around a store (where I was shopping and he was delivering) to chat with me.

startling dream

it revealed itself
emerging slowly

strong and curved
pulsing with life

writhing out of its skin
again and again

goodbyes give me a headache

(and there's no powder in the house)

What is it with you people and babies?!

For the second time someone has asked about me starting a family now that I'm starting a new life.

disappearance

trip after trip
taking it all away
the latest?
my clothes
everything that didn't fit
i was left with a mini-skirt
and a whole lot of shoes

vivid dream

i am underneath strong hands
he leans over
to kiss the small of my back

prescription (for fragility?)

I don't know what it was exactly that he heard in my voice or what it was that I said last night. He had me go through my record collection and he gave me a list of things to play and not to play. At the end of our conversation I was instructed to immediately go to the turntable, remove the Joplin record and put on "Peter, Paul and Mommy" then Sly and the Family Stone. Then to call if I didn't feel better.
