Okay, okay. Enough already.
In the course of two months, I have lost or had lifted, my Blackberry (aka Red), my favorita winter hat, and now I just discovered that my brand new pair of shoes that I bought in Alaska, are gone. Missing out of Suitcase ~ MOOS. In their place is an inspection notice by the airport suitcase inspectors that they inspected my luggage. Now, I am trying my best not to jump to conclusions here. I mean it could be a coincidence. But come on folks, I hadn’t even worn my new shoes yet! And because I have a hard time buying stuff like that for myself, losing a pair of shoes before I even get to wear them, stinks.
Moreover, what is this losing, possible lifting, deal that I have going on. I do not usually lose stuff. What is the Universe telling me? What? Go buy a new pair of shoes and stop my whining?
I don’t think I like that answer…
I am a bundle of nerves
if you only knew.
knew what twitches inside me
just under this yellow-skinned face
you describe as inscrutable.
I cringe and then rage
against your chosen word.
I am not inpenetrable, after all.
If I were not penetrable, I would not be entertaining this particular fantasy.
The one where I stand up, while you continue prattling on about what you prattle
stand up
right here
right now
and denounce our friendship
as I announce you as the cloaked racist
you are ~ in this moment.
I am a bundle of humanity
if only you knew.
