Friends expressed concern
at the absence of my words
it took quite some time

to watch & wonder
as evil grasps a foothold
what must we endure

like many conflicts
darkness often gains control
Before “light” cleans up…

DNA’s storage
Mutations are aplenty
for posterity?

in vacuum of space
Congealed into sky crystals
Life continues on…

Ice & snow are gone
next few weeks have a reprieve
a balmy forecast…

Farmers Almanac

#Oligarchs spiral
frightening as the loose touch
with reality

when did mark & Jeff loose it
Musk never had it

Texas winter fun/
I was making our street safe/
not just adulting

Big *kid* Tonka toys/
Clearing both side of our hill/
Before the ice fell

then at 1 A.M./
constant snow blankets it all/
now to redo it

It’s not really h8
I hate nervous energy
with embarrassment

but especially
when someone else raises mine
2ndary cringe

distractingly real
triggers my trauma response
often freeze up hard

Found old leak in June…
gearheaded geek, I am;
Wednesday it gave up…

Telltail pink wetness
yesterday’s warning red lights
So, checked the tank… dry.

Awaiting update;
parts availability?
Planning for long night…

Emotionally
I’m barely treading water
Struggles with unknowns

Trying not to hide
owning my situation
