(no subject)
Just the first few notes of Joan Osborne make me long for the hot pavement of a Texas Summer.
The dirt in front of my poor friend's house where we had a yard.
Kittens under a couch
A dangerous older brother I had such a crush on him
Greasy Italian dead beat dad, no worse than my own
Sunset over the end of Lamar
didn't do all I'd said I would
I sang this song 6 years old
eyes shut peacefully
floating in a canoe on town lake
my baby sitter made fun of me
my first CD
I wore a go go dancer outfit--picnic blanket gingham baby pink polyester
I was 7
or 8
We argued about who was skinnier
The agony and irony of every age
Approaching 20
And 2010
I have paperwhite bulbs growing in my room, and cactus
Amaryllis in the bathroom
Makes me feel stable and competent
Crystals litter this house
Snow like carpet all over the city
Dirty piles of it
