all praise and glory

the keys to the kingdom looks like a 30 day trial of amazon prime.  the sky opened up and the glory shone down in the form of scandal (season 3) and mad men (season 6).  technology, i praise your name.  goodbye world of people productive and brunching before noon.  hello, weeks of emotive entertainment.  alleluia.

where does it hurt?

It's hard to say exactly where the pain is felt-
a phantom limb of sorts.
It feels like a physical ache, but only after.
To place the pain would be fix it on
memory or hope
something not inside or outside
mixed up in past and futures
and felt presently
in no real way
that can be
identified
so as to
mend.

i do not believe that the act of giving is always to be praised. to give up. to give in. to give when you should not. to bend in ways that do not allow for straightening out again.  these days when every punctuation mark takes on some 20 layers of meaning.  the  presence or the absence of a particular inflection can be devastating. (She is speaking in codes again, she is speaking in that way.)  And this is no game of madlibs with some other voice filling in the cues for reconciliation or destruction, this is a game of One.  This is a game of one, and a page quietly turning.

this is important.
feel it all.
