I knew at that moment I might never get back for my things.
I had seen some unreasonable personality traits in the previous weeks, a streak of cussed meanness to be exact. The woman I had been staying with had warned me on the first day that nobody ever stayed there more than three months, but I gambled.

She sounds insane. The trouble with crazy people is that they can be so damn alluring.

Say these mangoes are the body

and that these cherries are the
remainders of old love
waiting. The flesh warms you,
the stones pass. Say these pears
are what your lover holds

In their soft shoulders,
in their juice,
wherever you just were.

Lovely poem, flowed quite nicely. I really love the line: "The spring rain/ vivid on your tongue." Such a striking metaphor. Enjoyed.

I think there's good reason to believe that human beings evolved from closely-related primates who abandoned the land during long periods of time when it was uninhabitable and lived a semi-aquatic life.
The theory is outlined in a book called The Descent of Woman, by Elaine Morgan, which I happened to pick up and read at least twenty years ago.
I am reminded of it...

I haven't heard of it, but I'm planning on running out and getting it as as soon as possible.

People, I want you to put down your crack pipes, dust off your shoes, and smell the linoleum.
Then stand up and look outside.
The world is a beautiful, fragile and resilient place.
Don't just stand there puffin on a baby-food jar with your thumb in your ass.
For pete's sake what a waste of time.
There are my feelings...

The reading was good.
All the girls I am in love with were there. The ones who live in sacramento, anyway.
Some of them pointed me out in front of everyone as having inspired them to do certain things.
It was lovely. A love-fest.
I wish you all could have been there.

Really- which letter? I named her that because when I was pregnant with her I, we found out my father had terminal cancer. It reminded me of Elysian Fields...well and I loved the name.
AHH a love fest! Fabulous- you deserve one!

This is actually a column I wrote for the school paper.
It may be amusing to some. I wonder how different you find the style it's written in from the voice in these postings.

So are you saying "all in moderation"?
I definitely have impulse control issues lately. Being irresponsible, too self-indulgent, not enough consideration for others. Just things that I've realized personally about myself. I know I shouldn't just jump from one extreme to another - from only pleasing myself to only pleasing others... I know that there needs to be a "middle ground" somewhere.
I've just realized that I've started to become someone who I don't like... let alone recognize. I'm trying very hard to "improve" myself so maybe one day I'll have peace within - REAL peace - and not feel so lost.
I'm just trying to piece my broken self back together... hopefully into someone brighter and more beautiful and more compassionate and more giving...

Instead of writng my column, I'm hanging out in cafes cruising the internet.
It's a little hard to concentrate because I'm into one of those phases when I feel like life is a little too good to be true.
I tried getting stoned early in the day to calm down but that just made me feel better.
It's a kind of indirect euphoria but a...

Actually, the best way to check ot my art now is to click this:
http://crawdad.deviantart.com/
I have a bout 50 pictures in my gallery there.
In other news, it looks as if I have not one but two secret admirers. This doesn't account for the Russian girl who's been e-mailing me.But she's not very secretive about it.
Tuxedo time: saturday night.

It's raining right now, enough to stop a ball game but not enough to stop progress. Nor will it have much effect on anything except to benefit the crops on the fields extending to infinity in every direction. I've read somewhere recently that 75% of the earth is under cultivation. Somehow thinking of figures like that spoils the idea I have in my head of...

The Worst Day Fishing is Better Than The Most Mediocre Day Sitting Around Doing Nothing
Today as I was walking to the newspaper office at school, I heard my name from down the hall. It was one of the teachers, talking to someone from the administration.
They were happy, so I went in to find out what was going on. A few weeks ago, the...
