N=Nan   T=Therapist

T:  Back again, huh.

N:  Yeah. I’ve got to get my wheels back on track.

T: Wheels?

N: Yes–back in line with myself.  I’ve gotten sidetracked.

T:  Who’s the engineer?

N:  I am…was…

T:  And now?

N: It must be an Archetype.  It’s that huge.

T:  It?

N:  He.  He must be of Archetypal proportions to have  such a massive effect.

T:  Which Archetype?

N:  I’ve got to think on that…

T:  Take your time.

N:  But I don’t have too much time.  I’m not sure I’ll outlast this plague…

SELF THERAPY SESSION ONE

Published May 5, 2020 by Nan Mykel

[Me = Nan and T = therapist]

Me: I can’t get anything done and I sleep too much. My day just dampens away.

T: Dampens?

Me: Oh you know–just shrivels away.  My son calls and I’ve nothing to report.

T: You feel …helpless?

Me: Yeah, helpless, I guess.  I’m straining at my chains but…

T: Chains?

Me:  I’m caught, like a fish on a hook.

T: Who’s the fisherman?

Me:   Uh….Trump and his minions.

T:  What’s he done–doing?

Me:  He’s broken into the house to burgle, and left his s*** in the living room.

T:  What’s he taking?

Me: Hope.

T:  Too bad you don’t have someone to pray to.

Me:  Hey! You’re supposed to help me!

T:  I’m here to listen…and to encourage you to help yourself.

Me: He might be dumb but he’s clever….How is that possible?

T:  He has enablers?

Me:  Boy does he!…Sigh.

T:  …What are those tears saying?

Me: The daily news is like brain washing…

T: What was the brain like before being washed?

Me: Energized…hopeful,,,creative…productive.

T:  Well–there’s Cuomo.

Me: Yeah–but he’s given the children to Bill Gates.

T:  Time’s up, give me a hug.

Me: We have to put our masks back on first.

T:  Tomorrow, same time…

Lizard Droppings

Published May 4, 2020 by Nan Mykel

Lizards crawl out

from the cracks

in my heart

sometimes.

I don’t see them

but afterwards I

find their droppings

around me.

WHERE ART THOU? – poem

Published May 3, 2020 by Nan Mykel

 

 

 

 

 

Squabbling in

the planet’s sandbox,

howling from a fistful of the stuff

into streaming eyes, bloodline

against itself.

Domesticated life forms,

not cloned, rather

tainted with the freedom

to differ in

their cousin rivalry.

Why are the earth’s many

Gods only uncles?

Let us hear from Grandfather

who in his infinite wisdom

must surely re-unite us all.

 

Nan in Time Wrinkles, 2015

I Like It

Published April 30, 2020 by Nan Mykel

I just sat down in the corner chair by the bookcase and picked up a book I wrote in 2015, to see what I thought of it  now.  I read it through and was satisfied to find I like it. (I hadn’t been too sure about the stories).  I didn’t announce its self publication on Create Space, and didn’t even offer the library a copy. I focussed my attention on my incest book and tucked Time Wrinkles, a plebian portfolio down to earth & over the top in story & verse away.  Last year I gave my incest book away in pdf form (see that page of this blog) and will probably do likewise with Time Wrinkles in a year or two. But I just wanted to let you know.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’m Scared

Published April 29, 2020 by Nan Mykel

I fear our leader may be delusional.  It seems possible he really believes what he says.  Two of his latest statements suggest seriously that he needs some  care.  I can only imagine how his staff must be trying to figure out how to get him to accept some help.  Given that we’ve had at least two presidents who were augmented behind closed doors by their spouses (or so I’ve I read), apparently this eventuality is not covered by the constitution.  As irate as I have been by his presidency, I am coming to experience more concern—and fear—tonight.

Pandemica

Published April 26, 2020 by Nan Mykel

Sleep and food, highwater marks,

attract the floating swimmer.

(Without a baseline it’s hard to stand).

Perception implodes as

days lose their faces.

The fish bowl, turned on its side,

changes everything.

I Know this is Silly After…

it appeared on Twitter, and this is my infinitesimal blog, but I was impressed by it
Andrew Cuomo
@NYGovCuomo

NY has given $116 billion more to the federal government than we received since 2015.

Kentucky *took* $148 billion more from the federal government than it gave.

Just give NY our money back, Senator McConnell.

IF FOX CAN GET SUED….

Published April 24, 2020 by Nan Mykel

for giving out disinformation, why can’t Trump? Especially when it would have deadly consequences, like Lysol?  I can’t believe he really believes that.  If his base believes him, they won’t be around election day…
