    Atmospheric Compression

    sleep…
    we parted company…for the most part
    a while ago
    snatches of nap here and there
    but a full night’s sleep?
    …very rare
    disrupted by dreams and thoughts
    as I stare at the ceiling
    and toss

    maybe it’s only my imagination
    (but I somehow doubt it)
    the world feels…
    heavier?
    more dense?
    and…Read More

    • I think your poem speaks to something very true Willow. There is a definite compression in the air in these times (and for many for a very long time before this). But especially today, there is the feel of the walls pressing in, everything is hunkering down trying to find a safe place to live in. This is no way for human beings to live. -Curt

    • This is funny. It reminds me of something that Mel Brooks would write.

      • Thank you, Fia. That is a really nice compliment to even be mentioned in the same sentence as Mel Brooks. Sometimes I just like to sit at the keyboard and let my imagination fly.

        Randall…

    • Still adore this one, Randall. As always, a lovely, fun write by you.

      P.S. I always have the 2 Dirty Wooden Nickels in my pocket. 😉

    • You’re very lucky. Some people are screwed up in the head and become dangerous. Situational awareness and a good pair of legs to run are always good options.

    • Yes thank you .. I mean that creep could’ve grabbed me fast. But I think he didn’t as it was day and in front of the dairy Queen. Idk but I do feel Angels were with me. I don’t go out much like I used to and I don’t trust many out there. But I do go out maybe to the library to a restaurant, things like that. But like how I did , no and I hardly do because I have my princess I love watching and spending time with. I don’t like going out and she stays home without me. She with my parents and nephew but in general without me, doesn’t feel right. So I don’t , maybe I’ll go on a date if there’s one but after the date is over I go home. And I’m so cautious of my surroundings too. I keep keen observation on dates too. So I watch them from far to make sure they do leave without trying to follow me. I’ve seen too much to not play it smart.
      And yes a pair of strong legs are good for strong running. At that time I was very young and I could’ve run fast lol. I’m older and I can only run as fast as I can. But my supervision is very strong.
