The Bag Lady

I often watch from here. It’s harmless really, I don’t approach, I only watch. I realize it’s not healthy, my mind and body should be elsewhere, doing something, anything…anything to ease my pain, heal my heart. I don’t expect you to understand, I only want a few glimpses of what I could have had, would have had, if only I had given in. There’s nothing wrong with giving in sometimes—I know that now—now that it is too late and I can only observe from a distance what I am missing.

I wanted to be Calliope,

but my brain settled on Thalia;

even she was reluctant

She finally succumbed to my pleas,

letting me practice a bit on a blog.

A blog you query? Surely the muses are too proud to indulge in such endeavors.

This is no one liner— I never realized how much clutter I actually had until I started packing up things to move to a new apartment. How can you classify a grand child’s drawings from 2000 as clutter? 😳😄

A broad brimmed white hat atop a sleek styled black shiny coiffure adorned the finely boned facial features of the woman walking into the room. A white slim sheath covered her tanned form from neck to calf with six inch heeled sandals strapped to perfectly pedicured toes. Her look was as intentioned as the cool cosmopolitan in her manicured hand.

This week I rewatched an old series from 2006 that I really really loved. It is called “Saving Grace” starring Holly Hunter. R rated on Hulu.

In first season, first episode – don’t be turned off by the first scene, it gets better and the story is wonderful.

This Word always reminds me of the old Smothers Brothers song “chocolate”

I’m sorry to say my granddaughter’s days of wishing to see a unicorn have passed and moved on to seeking out saxophone jazz players. However we wouldn’t mind seeing one 🦄🦄🦄

It is no mystery
Do not even need a clue
The man is full of temerity
I know you know who.
Yes he was elected
A few years ago
I can’t be to blame
It was not him who got my vote.
You have heard the saying: a bad penny
Keeps turning up?
Well in this case
I think he fits the bill, so yup—
It’s all about Trump.
