MY CONFESSION

 

MOM said I had to make a confession because
everybody thinks I'm so cute, well, here it is:
"I have one black foot."
See it? My front left foot, all black
Glad we got that business out of the way, whew!


 

MOM: "VinnyGuinea, is that the confession
that explains the band-aid, dear?"
VINNY: "OH, and I bite."
MOM: "Who else was a biter, even though
we never spoke of it openly?"
VINNY: "Raj. He taught me..."
MOM: "OF COURSE he did. So now we
are going to unteach you, O.K. because you
are tiny with a voice that could place you
in the high soprano section of the 
Vienna Boys Choir and yet you remember
to honor your friend Raj by biting, is that
really the way you want to honor him?"
VINNY: "Can I honor him with my black foot, mom?"
MOM: "Yes, and we are sure hoping the rest of you
comes "dropping by" as well, honey, because your
squeal could shatter glass!
"G'nite, mom."
"G'night, ya little squirt, I love you! Sweet dreams, all."

DO YOU TAKE TIME OUT JUST TO DREAM?

 

Today is the first in so many days that
no caregivers are coming so mom gets to go out 
and she will go to Trader Joe's to 
find an orchid for under $10.


And dream about spring while
continuing to clean the apartment
(re: throwing out plates and bowls
that are too dirty to clean, until
we are down to two, but she cleans
OURS because they are all hand
washed in the bathroom sink.)
And even though the sun comes
out then it snows, we won't care
because we have an orchid
and an unopened package from
Fairy to open with our orchid,
toasted English muffins, and orange

marmalade, home-made by Fairy's mum!
This is a screenshot of Dinky from
one of the owl-cams last summer.
We are dreaming in our sleepsacks...
sending love to Meeri-boy in Bavaria.
DO YOU DREAM?  OF WHAT?
WILL YOU SHARE YOUR DREAMS?
NOW THAT MOM IS HAVING
DREAMS AGAIN WE THINK SHE
MAY FINALLY BE STARTING 
TO THAW FROM THE STARTLING 
SHOCKS THAT BEGAN January 1, 2012.


HENCE, THE ORCHID: NEW BEGINNINGS.
L'CHAIM!
TO LIFE!
LOVE.
