Ed Wood

not wearing
stockings
on my legs
or my face

im not cross
dressing
or even
thinking

of stalking
or wearing
women's
apparel

and yet i find
i'm writing
this poem
so where's

my mind 
at or on
Planet 9
lost in an

angora
tree 
covered
wood

All wonderful news Maureen. The positive step forward is always harder when negativity is trying to push you back.

I plan to replace it with belly dancing. I took a class when I was 11. Just discovered Kaouthar Darmani on Youtube, belly dancing feminist, I am in love. But the best news is, my monarch butterfly egg hatched, little guy has quadrupled in size in 2 days, and today I found two more wee instars. So I have babies to dote on.

...must quit cigarettes. Literally sucking the life out of me. Been more off than on for years but live with a smoker, who's an alcoholic, so stress. Been holding off stopping till the Yorkie I'm sitting is gone, (must deliver in one piece ;), so quit date set for the 10th.

I know of, not a lot though. I am however well acquainted with agoraphobia, gotten out of hand these last few years. Slowly dismantling that. I had been making waves in my recovery, the old' 2 steps forward...

Thanks Maureen. Do you know of Ed Wood? He wasn't as shlock as some of the movies I've watched these past few days jajaja. I'm afraid I'm having a bit of not "angoraphobia" but agoraphobia. What have you been up to young Poet?
