The Bag Lady

Paula may not have one but I certainly do, since it just happened for the fourth time in as many days. My new neighbor moved in Friday and has an alarm on their phone. It must be on vibrate, no music, etc. When it’s still pitch dark outside it goes off repeatedly. This morning I counted it. 37+ buzzes repeat til it’s shut off and then put on “repeat every five minutes”. This goes on till 6:45am and the person must finally get out of bed. This morning I contemplated yelling, “Get the —- up!” But I didn’t and won’t. So any suggestions?

Personally, if I need an alarm I set it once. Repeating it just makes me lay there miserable.

Sleepy petals wake

Spread with a pretty greeting

It’s morning, glory!

If you need a lift, I’ve got a ladder

If you need a fantasy, I have a book

If you need euphoric, I’ve got a dream

If you need a meal, I have some soup

If you need a shoulder, I have two

A heart, two hands, two ears to listen

I’ve got you covered.

Julie’s mother was sitting anxiously in the audience, waiting for her daughter’s appearance.

Out from the sidelines danced ten perfectly identical ballerinas sparkling in the footlights.

Julie of course thought her daughter was the most beautiful of all.

The scent of warm cornbread fills our western facing patio, the power of it delighting my senses and baiting my appetite. The impact on my being is not unlike the glancing accent of your perfume as you glide by me–an enticement into the captive emotion only you can provide. The moon starts its journey, vanguard to the stars, overseeing all lovers.

I’m asking you, wise old one, what is the answer to my question? You have seen problems like this in your many years, answers offered and found in whispered breezes of conversations to each other in the forest, so could you tell me, please, the answer?

Sandy Nelson was my introduction to drums in 1961 and this is him in 1999. I love drum solos and this is a great one. Skip forward to the straight shot of Sandy playing, the rest is blurry amateur video, not mine, but glad to find it on youtube.
