(research? do i learn nothing?)

anymore

i am going to trust 
that the leaves will turn red
and the election will come and go--
i will try to trust that 
the mail will need checking and 
my hair will need washing
and the made for tv movies will be bad--
i trust that tea cups will pile up
and the pies will be baked, 
though you will not be here to try them. 
i trust the world will keep turning and turning and turning, 
though its hard to know what is real 
anymore. 

come to

a summer without words? what has this world come to... 

(i feel so far away from myself.) 


( i do have about 25 drafts. should work on those)
