REALITY?: From Point of View
I hate this niggley thoughts that invade and take over, grow with questions and argument within the pea-sized space of my brain. To fight for justice, and to fight against injustice, are not the same by way of motive and … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: Better than Quizzella
More expensive, too, but I think it is money well spent. On Monday morning I finally will have someone I trust and respect in the justice system tell me whether I am an anal retentive ass, or whether three other … Continue reading Continue reading

I have posted and deleted three entries so far this morning, realizing that I have a higher tolerance for my own complaints than others. Then too, weblogs can easily serve as personal diaries, but with readers, even those who sympathize, … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: Yardsong
The yardman at my neighbor’s house next door is mowing. He’s singing too and it’s very very loud. He thinks no one can hear him as he has a monster Skag–a man’s machine–and the car is missing from the neighbor’s … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: Fit
I wear the world like a pair of jeans bought off the last chance rack at Marshall’s. Almost, but not quite right. An inch or two cut off, a seam taken in a scootch; that’s all that I may do … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: Moving On

REALITY?: Rewhatever
Stuff to say but till it softens in the sun I’ll need to keep it hid. Still the bits and pieces of the meanings float and bounce like bubbles blown from a plastic wand and rise just out of reach. … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: Dawn
Up since two waiting for the dawn and trusting nature to bring some rays of wisdom with the enlightenment of day. Been reading, being affected by Joyce’s choice of sermon. Connecting dots of thoughts written through the ages that answer … Continue reading Continue reading
