driven to tears.
Tue Nov 13 2001

too many cameras and not enough food...

it's getting hammered into my skull, how short life is, how short life is. part of me wants to hide under the covers and not face the knock on the door, the sunshine tip tapping against the windowpane, another more urgent part wants to begin a long ass walk to texas, camp on his balcony...toast marshmellows in the fireplace, rescue all the cats at the shelter, hide beneath your strong supple wings...

he's leaving on a jet plane and my heart's hanging in my throat. if only i could have crazy glued him to my desk chair...tied those duck wings behind his waist...fly home safely dearest man.

life is real, life is earnest...

    [pours a virtual Soave Bolla, adds a squeeze of lemon, and slides it down the bar]

    He'll be back. Or you'll go to him. Meanwhile, you'll have the virtual best of each other, your cats, your friends.

    Life is short. Way to short to hide under the covers and ignore knocks on the door.

    Oh franny, i'm so sorry. Life is too short, but Salamander is right. Life is too short not to live it, enjoy it, and savor it. Love that Duck in person or in spirit, but LIVE in the meantime either way.

    Start that hike to Texas, pleeeze! Stop by my place, the both of you. You've been on my mind all morning and I've had you in the Father's Throne Room for blessings/143 means I love you...that's what Minnie, my friend wrote me and it took me two weeks to figure out that the numbers correspond to the letters in each word. duh. still blonde after all these years! 143 ;)
