what has occured in events of malfeasance
strange reality or bad luck
is what I have never desired
but dished out none the less
so that sweet perfect sunset is vanquished
vanished
vamoose
kaput
and in consideration I have parked
mysoftly velvet wrinkledy such
on the couch
fighting
to stay
awake
it isn’t perfect this life
but it will do

Glad to see ya too!!
Joanie, I never really go away away. I just get caught up in life. The man is seeking a new professional situation and that reality places more time demands on me, like having to find extra long ties, for example. plus lately friends and family are more demanding than usual, so I have to bend in that direction. I'm juggling. I'm not even skating or riding horses or anything fun except learning android, which is a hoot. so nothings taking precedence over writing or painting. I'm sitting on my whatsit and pondering the nature of it all and hoping I don't have a particularly short genetic lifespan and that I'll come through this and get back to my life.
Smithie, whatever it is you're up to, you're looking particularly provocative lately. I get an enormous kick out of you when I get a few extra minutes and our time here has coincided.
Poetess, thank you. You're a lovely poet your own self so your words are very flattering to old me.
HIGH5 Julie!
Mission, it's great to read you. I'm not so much a couch potato as stuck doing so much in this damned chair and then jumping up and running around and doing this and that and too much of goofy stuff that has to be done. I hope life is lightening up for you my friend. It's dicey here, too damned iffy for my taste but we're hanging tough.
Tom, you're right of course. As I get older, it doesn't seem as if I'm settling so much as feeling that whatever it is, it is what's supposed to be and I have to work with it. I used to think I had forever, but I know time is of the essence now.
so maybe someday, w/ your "softly velvet wrinkledy such"
comfy on the couch, y'l figure it all out for us
and put it in a series of fun minimalist
poems
using all your favorite words...
malfeasance : Anglo-Norman malfaisance,
from Old French malfaisant,
malfeasant, present participle
of malfaire, to do evil,
from Latin malefacere ; see malefactor
(turn on the tv to see malefactors f-ing up our
equanimity...one of my favorite words..)
It can be "enough," as long is we let it be. And yes, "malfeasance" is a great word!
