you want to pull shit and run
instead they have you chained and shaved,
tied to a tree your ancestors would have loathed,
barking
barking
interminable
i felt a little better for you
southern tier drifts still not alaskan temps
you could have pulled my babies clear across this town
springtime now, my daughter points
"dog!" "gahg!" ---sounds like words
reminding you & me of what we are
a name for the hours, moons
& our essential boredom, etc.
nights you lay and dream of elk
bloody muzzle, not the alpha, OK
but learning again
doing again
the change coming by degrees
inside your owners drink and smoke
and come and go
coddling that piece of shit weiner dog
i'd feed to you if given the chance.

MEAT BONANZA!!!HERE! in chautauqua county, in lil ol cassadaga. it's a shameless plug for big city biz, but hey..... i've abstained for as long as i could....
ok, ok, WHAT is a meat bonanza? at our special grocery store, it is a quarterly event in which carts are loaded with freshly cut meats at obscenely low prices. it is amusing to see folks check out with five bags of huge rectangles full o meat and six boxes of ziplock. it is beyond amusing, into the realm of extremely pleasurable, to open up your freezer and have dinner A-ok all set-a rooney, for about 6 weeks, on what you'd spend once at weggies.
our meat completely kicks the rear of any meat i've ever gotten at weggies, btw. ain't nothin like country meat.
soooo, if you feel like driving a long long way.... y'know. for meat.

monday morning emptiesare COMPLETELY different now.
not that we burn through THAT much milk in a weekend, but sheesh...
i had the VERy most disturbing dream, that i was getting ready to teach and was reviewing and going over my lesson plan out of view of the students, and then when i got into the classroom all the kids were getting gassed, and some were wandering around in blank eyed confusion, and there was just mayhem. i crawled for the windows and breathed through my shirt, rather than trying to help anyone.
the most fucked up thing about it, was the lesson plan had the same first name, for some reason, as my daughter. and in the dream that was also the name of the gas.

That is really a disturbing and/or fucked dream. Sounds like one you will always remember and I do have some of those myself. You are a very good recycler I see. That is definitely one of my main ocd behaviors is recycling.

news flash! parenting totally kicking myass.
wednesday mornings, seemingly all the moms in town CONVERGE upon the playground and there's just a diaperload full of kids. great! and i ought not to talk turkey, this being such a small town and all, and all these moms being so very nice..... just the thing that bugs me is they all make it look so EASY. for example, at least when they arrive, their children are free of gunk on their faces and hands, or in their baby hair, and have non-rumpled looking clothing on. or at least CLOTHES on. they do not say "ma? ma? Ma? ma? ma?" until their mother wants to shake them (although this just started with my son, it sets my teeth on edge like nothing else). the moms pull a virtual organic mini mart out of their strollers or what have you, and my son is (thankfully) included, otherwise he might just stand there with his mouth wide open and cheep. loudly.
and the moms, while monitoring 100% for signs of non-sharing, pushing, falling off any playground equipment, and staying put---even for more than 1 kid! have nice conversations, with little interruption, and also they have nice flat bellies as little as 2 (TWO) darn months after having a baby, while here i am jogging my baby weight off 11 big ones later. who ARE these moms? how did their legs get so shaven, their hair so coiffed? surely they didn't go to the salon before the playground, cuz that's the only place MY hair gets done......
hm. maybe the convos about the hard stuff ARE going on, and i don't catch them because i'm simultaneously removing sand from the baby's mouth with my shirt and putting the boy's shoes on for the 80th time, while visions of the non-organic snacks i managed to toss into the stroller dance in my head.

thanks all for the encouragement!
and though i definitely can't concur, the seduction fantasy is damn hilarious....

Hey, just to let you know, my mom had a VERY tough time with my brother and I and she talked about all these moms as well. :) Maybe they are aliens - the real kind from some other galaxy.

My dear, you're doing a great job with those kids! I know, first hand, I've been to your house, remember? The Boy is very active and almost Scarily smart. Baby Girl is mobile now, not easy when they're both into everything. It's easy to look at others and wonder, "They make it look easy?" but you don't know that they're not wondering how you do it, too. Plus, you work. I'm betting Not-so-much for them. You love your kids and you're doing your very best and that's all that can be asked, really. And they're your first priority. So you're hair isn't done, so what. You're kids are happy!

see, that's exactly why i never talked to the mothers of my daughter's school mates. i mean, it could have been because most of them were like 20 years older than i and i felt as if i had absolutely nothing in common with them, but i also felt like they were full of shit, pompous, pretentious, biaaatches.
i would hate them so much that i would fantasize about seducing their husbands (because i was 17 and we know how middle aged men react to barely legal girls) having hot nasty sex on their kitchen counters, filming it and throwing it in their face.
of course i never did, but it was fun to imagine.

Hang in there!
Hang in there!
Ohhhhhh, I want some pork loin BADLY!!!
Hmm - I'll check you guys out the next time I drive home to Jamestown.
That IS cheap meat! How much would all of the estrippers have to order to get you to deliver?
On the flip side, I will make the drive for $60. If six (e:strip)pers make orders, then it only costs you $10 for me to get it to Buffalo (10 which you would surely save in the cost of meat!)
What kind of produce do you sell? Just checked out your website - and wished you were in Buffalo.
