...the trouble.

-
I've a mind to tell you off -
I've got no time to listen to
                 you spew abuses and curses
on everything and everyone who
                                  sicken you to your core.
                                      Not that you know you aren't any better.
In fact, your inability to see
      your decay and disease makes you that much worse.
But then again, who are we to judge?
                                            Just because you're acting like a
fool who has taken one too many bottles of wine,
                   doesn't mean we should be whining
so much about your actions.
If only you would stop acting so foolish,
               we wouldn't have to do this.
Peace of mind - don't you want that?
             I guess not.
I guess you'd rather we give you a piece of our mind -
                                                         but why bother?
                                                  It's not worth the trouble.

A piece about my frustrations with a friend. It's disappointing and stressful to argue and lose a once-dear friend. But alas, we can't have everything - not everyone is willing to see things the other way.

Hope you've enjoyed this little piece.

Cheers!

Sweet Medicine

So I've heard that the difference between poison and medicine is in the dose.      I've also heard that food should be our medicine, the front lines against disease.    I've also  heard                          (bear with me) that the quickest way to a man's heart           is through his belly. Let's put aside the obvious      problems glaring at us            with glowing,              unsettling eyes - of the literal relationship of constant ingestion of meaty, fatty proteins and heart disease - and let's just sit back, relax: take this     on a more abstract level. Her words & actions        were saccharine: thick dollops of gelato filling a generously large bowl. It took more than a few years to finish, but I got throu...

Because...

Because I could not stop for Death, He kindly stopped for me; The carriage held but just ourselves And Immortality. We slowly drove, he knew no haste, And I had put away My labour, and my leisure too, For his civility. We passed the school where children played At wrestling in a ring; We passed the fields of gazing grain, We passed the setting sun. We paused before a house that seemed A swelling of the ground; The roof was scarecely visible, The cornice but a mound. Since then 'tis centuries; but each Feels shorter than the day I first surmised the horses' heads Were toward eternity. Emily Dickinson "Because I could Not Stop for Death..." I stated in an earlier post that I'd venture into poetry - I never said I'd take another's. But this isn't a poetry post - this is one of those kind-of-essays. I have just recently been given the news of the passing of my grandmother on my mother's side. It's hard enough to deal with a relative's dea...

But Whatever Do You Mean?

-
Her mind was reeling, in a state of retropulsion, as though stepping - no, leaping  back would save her from dwelling on the implications of what just happened. The enemy - so-called -             called for truce,      even friendship. She has known him these past three years and not once has he made any indication of backing down. His sense of pride, like a wall, didn't allow the very idea to enter through the gates. And yet now, when she chances upon him in the streets, all she sees on his face is bewilderment,              even confusion. When he chances upon her,                        his eyes fill with anger - but does she see a hint of embarrassment, dancing in the corners? Her curiosity is getting the better of her -                     she demands him, upon...
