Nothing takes me away from you
cause I'm busy at taking you with me.

[stilltrucking]

How sweet it is
to be taken with you

I talked her her father today, trying to understand her perdicament. Not sure if it is harder for women than men.
Worse for women I think, it is still a man's world got dam it.
I wish I had the dough rae mi to help her

thinking about a line from a John Prine Song
"her hearts as big as this whole god dam jail"

Free audio book Vonnegut Slaughter House Five if you want to listen to it

Well, actually I bought and read it this year, after your recommendation and plus I wanted to know what you're saying to me when you're saying things to me and making use of that book or other books in order to say it.

I want to talk with you in many different languages, then we're always talking.
But, thank you for thinking on me.

sorry to be so cryptic

I will try and rework to protect the innocent.

Sorry I deleted a couple of posts here from the beginning. so interesting to me how women communicate with each other, I want to write to you about two women, but I have to respect their privacy. Working on it. How much do I owe women poets for their life's work. More than the national debt.

ten years apart
related by blood
a child of the fifties
a child of the sixties
liberated women
making their way in a man's world

I have know both these women from the day of their birth and before. their mothers and fathers before them too.

our family bible on the table was written in Hebrew, the language of their mothers before them.

but
what does it matter
Hebrew English of Urdu
a haiku is still a haiku

Nothing said looks more like home to me than what is said here, Jack.

I'm never saying there shouldn't be a family raising on the Bible, I believe there should, I'm only starting to say things like raising a family on the Bible means person needs to take people out of the Bible.

Which could mean a couple things, things like...
-People don't know much about the Bible.

-Another People can rarely tell you much about the words in the Bible,
only they can try, they can guess and guess based on their own memories.

-Look at Bible people, then take them out and let them dance in front of you from top to bottom, from floor to ceiling, from here to there and then know what it is they mean for you to know.

I wish people I knew would have said to me to first read the Bible on my lonesome then to read it again alone and maybe again, then to go have some conversations about it, especially people like my parents or old holy roller churches and anyone really early in life insisting that they know and I need to find it out from them.

It isn't about whether it damaged me or not, I guess it's about that I'm skeptical of people (skipping rope with and then wanting to buy my own).

P.S. I don't know how I got there.

But, I am glad that I feel like it's a home here with you and that you get me thinking weird thoughts, such as and as.

[SadLuckDame]

For you I found...

[SadLuckDame]

Jack, let's live somewhere small, with neat little cozies to curl into, to read at and a nice kitchen that we can cook food from the garden in. I would like a hammock or porch swing, also a clothes line out back and room for dogs.

I will listen to your being mad and then we'll put a record on the record player.
You can tell me I'm selfish and spoiled, then I'll make us kool-aid or lemon-aid or sun tea. And we'll go out on the porch.

can i hang out? i'll be cool

[still.trucking]

weird thoughts
Mormon theology
like barking dogs
mingo's dog is always hungry
and coyote waits
walking on that Jesus road
some people say Jesus brought a sword
other peoples say he brought a casserole

Jesus is easy
the family Bible is easy
Monotheism is a hard sell for me these days

yes I am mad as a hatter

A mitzvah

I think I understand now what the old folks meant by that.
Tomorrow I hang out with Isabella Rose. and that is a mitzvah.

[constantine]

does that mean i can hang out?

[still.trucking]

Say Constantine, I missed your reply. Sure can hang too, please do.
We could all hang out in the rumpus room and watch reruns of the Rifleman on the old black and white TV with the rabbit ears.

[constantine]

that would be so cool

Baltimore will always be home to me but it is a spooky city for me now. The only people I know there are all in cemeteries.
Strange to feel like a stranger in familiar haunts. Uncanny feeling.
