Primary concern

Super Tuesday looms.
GOP, Dems cast votes. Dub
ya – ya won’t be missed.

Sitting next to Gloria Steinem

Her face fronted a
movement, a magazine. My
mind’s jaw drops in awe.

Reflection

Dressing room mirror
replaced by funhouse looking
glass. Not me in there.

Writer’s strike

Reality makes
me sick. Going through laugh track
cop show withdrawal.

Toil and trouble

Cleaning is like con-
fession. You’re surprised by dirt
under the surface.

Face waxing

In a misguided
effort I peeled off half my
face and left the hair.

Free at last

Today was her last
day on a job I said ‘don’t
quit’ two years ago.

Freelance writer

The more I write the
more I lose my hold on words
that speak without me.

Online – the new paradigm

My fingers talk my
eyes listen my head makes it
up my heart hungers.

Chenay Bay – Sixth day

Last day on island.
Family kayak to Prune
Beach, enjoyed time shared.
