seven houses

Ξ June 13th, 2009 | → 0 Comments | ∇ poems, screeds |

seven houses look like this
seven houses in a row
seven houses rubbed with cayenne
seven houses full of babies
seven houses caught in flagrante delicto
seven houses going 70 in a 35
seven houses stopped the war
seven houses running late
seven houses meant well
seven houses having a drink, staring at the tip of the Cape

 

More Thoughts on Comfortable Integrity: Trite but True

Ξ June 12th, 2009 | → 2 Comments | ∇ comfortable integrity, gratitude, screeds |

I got a little aggravated during my run the other night. Nothing was flowing for me. I was running downtown, and my usual issues were getting to me more than usual: uneven pavement punctuated by driveways, pedestrians slowly wobbling and tottering unpredictably in the center of the sidewalk, great food smells during exercise. Drizzle.

No part of me could get in the run, the moment –even my “Power Song” on my Nike+iPod was grating. Then it started raining. Then I got to an intersection where I had to stop. God I was miserable when I saw the guy in the wheelchair on the other side from me.

After I apologized to God for being such an asshole, I thanked God that I was an asshole who could go running in the rain in beautiful downtown Asheville. I turned off the iPod and listened to my breathing for the rest of the run.
