Anxiety
Blood pressure soaring
What are they going to say?
Are they going to poke and prick me again?
There's no where to hide in this room!

Finally it all comes to this hurdle of bones
bleaching now once with the rose red of living
tendons and bones
and the heart as it swings
with seizures and stings
and a tired fatigue so deep
that the body had sunken into the earth.
the humanists are attempting to being
mankind rummaging though life
through trash, cities and castles
maybe man will finish this
and there will be lavender
and rosemary--maybe--for we
have grown tired and our days
seem filled with sadness and pain
Its lavender that I seek, lavender and red roses.
wow my spell appt went nuts sorry late night.

Several days of agony;
Last night...almost doubled up.
Moaning in pain.
Even through pain killers.
Phoned dentist: Appt. at 2.40...
Timed it badly.
Started out; it was raining.
Had to double back and change.
Was almost late. Put on anorak.
Stuffed shoes in rugby shirt;
In bag. Wore cap.
Took cheque book.
Change of trousers.
Mine got drenched.
Changed there.
Young guy thought I was crazy.
I stripped the anorak.
Went in; waited.
The dentist poked around
and touched decay.
It was so painful; I cried out.
He went to work.
He temporarily filled it.
I was exhilarated.
(Based on diary notes made March 2013).

Above my burdened desk hangs my bulletin board..
I think I must try make time to get a bigger one soon.
My busy life has crowded this one so much,
I can't find what I had just posted there yesterday.
I love this board, it looks like a giant brown apple,
outlined in red , so ripe in the bounty of my life.
A school picture of the apple of my aging eyes,
my oldest grandson, dangles from the apple stem.
Little ones peek through reminders, an unpaid bill,
Thank you cards and a dental appt., now there's a thrill!
The corner of my favorite card juts out behind a recipe ..
The card is a picture of two dinosaurs on the bank..
watching the ark sail away..one says to the other.
" Oh crap! Was that today?, the inside is still blank."
A calendar tells me what the rest of the month holds.
This collage of my life is a pleasure in my day.
Maybe I wont get a bigger one after all...

I live in a family
who can't keep an umbrella
a flashlight
flour
superglue
post its
ink cartridges
ice cubes
ice cream cones
who can't find
checkbooks
gift cards
phone cords
appt reminders
who never has
extra cash
maps
penny rolls
the doctors number
the date of surgery
a camera
so we're always
wet
hungry
cold
late
early
lost
behind
thirsty
