beach poem
you are here at the edge of the world
gazing empty to the horizon
breathing its breath.
I watch
as brine laps its tongue on your calves.
saline flows in our veins;
constant equilibrium of our internal tides
of blood sweat and tears.
we all live in flux to gaze
and inhale the earth from dawn
until night.
I watch my free feet...

I ride silent in the cab
smoke a Camel Filter
two milligrams of Ativan dissolve
on my tongue in this foreign city
like the Holy Eucharist of my
Catholic childhood, and I pray
in tears, that I am absolved.
Drugs work fast. We are hardly
to the airport when I have seen
the Holy City
of Byzantium, only its pilgrim
come to beg redemption

Summertime and the livin's easy,
Fish are jumpin', and the cotton is high.
Oh yo' daddy's rich and yo' ma is good lookin',
So hush, little baby, don' yo' cry.
Was just listening to Billie Holiday sing that this morning..her voice gives me goose bumps..
Janis joplin did a decent version of it too..

I just made dinner for my foster mom and brother and real father. It was a marginal dinner but a good time, and we were all a little tipsy. My dad played some jazz while we sat and listened. Aaron and I did the dishes together and talked about old times when we used to live together and wander the streets of this podunk town...

Thanks for the heads up.

I just had my father fix one of the scars on my wrist... it had been bothering me. I took some massive preemptive narcotics and they just kicked in. As many surgeries as I have had, I still cringe at the touch of a scalpel. I'm guessing I have had almost 30 surgeries of some sort or another by now. This is perhaps...

Sounds like your dad and you are close. I am pretty close with my dad, not too much he doesn't know. I have always been much closer with him than my mom.
Working at your dad's office sounds cushy. What is stopping you?

Hey, good luck on getting approved.
Maine is pretty cold and depressing. I spent a day working yesterday though, it was good to get off my ass and do something productive. Especially where productivity is equivalent to $15 an hour.
I learned various useful things yesterday, like how to schedule an appointment, and how to explain to a patient that she should not remove her own stiches. I also was very...

I had a new pic up because it was sunny outside and pretty and I wanted to take a pic, but now it is nighttime and therefore not sunny and my mood has drastically changed and I decided I didn't like the pic I put up because it made me realize how thin I am right now.

Hope things get sunnier for you.
I have an area set aside for a garden, but I never get around to doing anything with it. Someday. Actually, it would just end up being a giant kitty box. Maybe a garden wouldn't be a good idea.

hi...I just tripped onto your site... I am currently reading la Petit Prince...albeit slowly and deliberately, with the english translation open beside it. I figure I could retain some french if I read the whole thing and took notes....I'm only on chapter four.
If I had to make a guess I would say you are......

I just finished breakfast/ lunch of leftover crepes smeared with cream cheese and jam. I know I'm not supposed to have cream cheese but it is the best hing on earth so I ignore the little voice of my inner physician explaining to me once again that I shouldn't be consuming milk because it will aggrevate my lupus.

I am supposed to be making dinner right now, but obviously am not. Tonight I am making crabcakes and I don't know what else. I probably should make an attempt at finding a crabcake recipe because for some reason last time they just weren't spicy enough. I've still got a few hours though, and I am a horrible procrastinater.

I think you are probably right, at least with some people. I haven't had seasonal allergy problems although I'm mildly allergic to common things like dust, mold, cats, and dogs. The depression runs on my mom's side of the family, but they all seem to have it in the fall.
We've had some rain lately, but in my opinion, this has been one of the nicest winters in a long time. Lots of dryspells with crisp mornings and sunny days. Even some of the people who came up from our offices in SoCal were impressed, especially with the view of Mt. Hood as they approached PDX. Lame in the snow and cold department, but a great winter otherwise. We'll probably have bugs galore this year.

I wish Liz Phair would knock on my door right now.
The spring depression thing is well-documented. I know what you mean about summer, I never sleep. The sun is so activating.
I think dinner sounds great. Appreciating food alone is better than not appreciating it at all.

monday: just like sunday except the doc's office is open so I can hear all about my GODAWFUL LABS. And the mail comes so I can remeber all about the bills I need to take care of. Yay.

hehe, late night runs to the dentist's office... that's classic. 
ugh. bad morning. I am still snowed over from the meds I took last night to keep me out of the ER. Yucko. I need to go see my doc, who I won't be able to pay, and get more meds, which I won't be able to afford. I'm heading up to Maine in March, and I'm gonna work for two weeks doing some odd...

Hah, whipped cream cans? We just sell the nitrous cartridges :-P
kinnie:
actually, we DO just sell the nitrous cartridges. There are two brands: EZWhips and ISI. They're for making your own whipped cream. And we sell crackers and balloons with them too. There are 24 cartridges to a case. Right now we've got a 3 for 2 (cases) deal, so they're going like CRAZY. It's really funny... i mean, it's completely legal, but it's so obvious what they're used for.
