He knew he was crotchety.
He’d forgotten how to love.
His cane held him upright and
allowed him to kick at stones
along the winding path home.
He wanted for nothing but
stones to kick and maybe a
bone to pick once he arrived.
Being crotchety was safe.
He knew it and they knew it,
and at night after supper
he could be found down
in his old soldier’s fox hole.
For the first time ever I dreamed I expressed myself furiously at my mother, saying she hated me and later in the dream I said that maybe it was because of the incest, to which she did not reply. There was something else about being outside and seeing something on the arbor that might have been a snake. I asked a man seated n a chair outside to see if it was a snake.

“Have yo
u seen him being super creepy with his daughter? What an uncool dad.” –Posted on Kos along with a photo of Ivanka (Tiffany) sitting on Donald’s lap. One comment received was something like “Happy to keep it in the family,” whereupon another poster responded to the effect that remarks like that could cause incest survivors pain. The exchange disappeaed before I got it copied perfectly.
I just woke up, sitting in the dark at my computer. When I opened my e-mail I was startled by the sentence, “MISSISSIPPI –Did you know-President Teddy Roosevelt refused to shoot a bear here… that’s how the teddy bear got its name.”? Just thought you’d like to know…And thanks to cousin Paul Craghead for the info..
Actually, I’m writing this to avoid a roto-something in my bathtub drain right now and cleaning agents out from under my kitchen sink due to a disposal that went on strike. That’s why I’m here with you instead of in my bathroom or kitchen.
