    press your back into the wall
    hold the ball
    transfixate
    make the drip drop on the floor
    hold the pose
    sweat break
    ignore the ankle rolled
    last week
    you danced and here you are
    Nice!  Lots of action going on there.

    Cool bug avatar by the way.

    How thinking about a layoff
    crumbled me. I shouldn't
    eat chocolate to make myself
    less animated. Less affected
    by rumors that I created.
    How can the loss of a job
    provoke such fear.
    It is not life or death, but
    that was easier. 
    To live only to live.
    Wouldn't that be nice.


    I love the line "I shouldn't eat chocolate to make myself less animated"...

    Onyeswonsu woke
    the desert wind
    to say good morning
    the sun would never have it from her
    anyway

    One more headache but what can I do?
    Listen to the beat
    "Sugar Magnolia" keep my feet moving
    Even as the head pounds
    Keep the beat
    On my feet.
    heads all empty?

    Some days, yes,
    Other days quite full
    A light tap on the noggin,
    Log in to my brain
    Listen for the echo
    To know the fullness or
    A vast echo.

    Great clouds 
    shouting whispers
    falling down flagpoles 
    warped by banners
    of parades, funerals,
    and everyday walking.
    They see the crosswalk 
    to turn left and
    right, they believe
    they will not 
    be hit.



    I LOVE this thread. What fun!

    When I was 15 months old
     I fell into our pool, 
    My cousin, a year older
    stood at the edge.
    Pointing.
    Don't know how long I was there.
    six inches from the surface
    almost black in color
    My sweater, floating in the ripples
    My Aunt jumped into the frigged water
    to save me.
    A miracle.
    The years that followed,
    I often wondered why.

    Nicely done Donna, ... and so glad you were rescued!

    I looked to them
    for restriction
    which they handed
    to me wrapped in gold
    and I sat down.
    Then others said
    I could do anything.
    A nervous energy
    I wrapped in wood.

    Look at the stars
    shining above glistening cubicles
    full of workers who choose to be
    alone in company
    and ready to succeed
    at something unknown to them
    in grade school.
    There are so many occupations
    beyond lawyer, doctor, teacher, nurse
    why weren't we told about
    meeting planners
    and strategic planners
    and day planners
    in first grade?

    The bark that sparked
    My brains reaction
    Acted on my addiction to
    Soundless silences
    Slipping through the silent days
    Always awaiting the next
    Thud boom or crack
    And ending with a sigh.

    In utero 

    Laughter bending my brain
    Where am I 
    What is that and why so dark
    I'm warm. Its wet and I feel safe
    Let me out I want to see
    Soon enough I'll be free
    Today is my daddy's birthday
    party
    I'll be born in sixteen days.
    I remember when, yeah. I swore I knew everything, oh yeah.

    Oh Christmas tree
    Axed your back
    And sacked your leaves
    Make my child jump with glee
    Forgive my need to 
    Splay the creed
    Their happiness 
    Your life to feed
    I remember when, yeah. I swore I knew everything, oh yeah.
