has become an infrequent poster

let's blame facebook, purveyors of anti-privacy;

let's blame a hard drive failure, destiny of anyone on such a machine;

let's blame her fifth grey hair, which is really quite silver and blends almost not-so-poorly with the semi-golden ones and enjoys the privilege of being the first not to be yanked;

let's blame politics, where her energy has fled; she's quite upset by the oil-leak;

and the rest of the time she's watching japanimé.

and then there is work.

this yellow rose

smells exactly like a candy necklace.
the pink one smells better (to me).
the red one smelled best (when it was cut) —
roses, like people, don't always smell the same as time goes by.

4 facts about which I am disturbed

1. My attractiveness seems strongest with men over 60.

2. Two of my first cousins (with kids) have lost their homes recently.

3. I saved 2 or 3 flies today.*

4. Flies understand English: "Go to that window, and you can be saved," said the lady with the Crate & Barrel catalog.




*(One might have re-entered, one of those fat, live-in-wood-all-winter kind).

**I talked to mom today; that part was good : )

****This is not my photo, but it is my hometown.

Had this other thing to say

Today, I shall recycle decades of ire so as to purge it.

May-day, May-day, this ship is sinking …

There are those who wish to parade tanks (that I didn't consent to pay for … neither did they … you go ahead and tell me capitalism/democracy is better ; )

And, there are those who wish to parade flowers,
as I do.

My last, semi-free, proto(yes, that's a true-choice word)sexual wish is for
Tanks
Thanks
Flowers.
