    Latchkey Kid—and Proud of It

    ⸻We didn’t need a manual.We had parents who were there—not hovering, not micromanaging,just there.And that was enough.So we learned to handle life.Alone. Early.And just fine.We were told what to doand when to do it.No debates, no feelings circles.No “gentle...

    • What a ride. This is fantastic. I was one of those latchkey kids as well. We did it and made it work. Ingenuity & creativity. It made us for what we are today. We weren’t kids sitting in the corner crying about spilled milk or some lame ass shit they cry over today. Nice work here.

      • Hi there Vision, I don’t know, I’ve been on this whole spinnaker of how life used to be. I think it’s the fact that the past 30 + years, life in America has just been decimated and eliminated; everything America was, is truly gone. And I’m feeling the burn. It’s not like generations before, where things would change and that was the way life goes, but it hasn’t just changed, It’s just gone.
        Thank you for visiting. I always appreciate your presence on my page❤️

    • I don’t agree with everything but that’s okay. Your work makes you think. It’s a topic that is right at the front of the world but everyone is ignoring it. I like how you just tackled the issue in the room.

      You might enjoy Ray Bradbury’s short Story “The Veld” it echoes what you are highlighting here.

      Keep up the intensity my friend
      I really enjoyed this

      • Nice to see you James. I appreciate you coming by to read me. It’s just a crazy world we live in. That’s all. And I will check out Ray Bradbury Veld.
        Thank you my friend

    • Yes! I agree, let’s make sure those we love know how much we treasure them, while there is time.

      Admittedly I struggled to read this through. The emotion is so incredibly palpable here, each word a pang of familiar grief.

      If this is a personal loss for you – condolences , myfriend.

    Inkletting

    It begins—not with a word—but a winnowing of silence.An inkling.This hush before quill bleedsonto the parchment.The ink drop dangles,glistens in my candlelight.A golden glimmer on a black drop. That is all it takes.As doubt ripples, certainty dissolves,while the poetry spills. I...
