The walk to get blood work and EKG was cold

On the way back, the sun came out: warmer 12/27/2024

THE CEMETERY WAS LESS FRIENDLY TODAY

A DAY BEGINNING WITH COLORS LIKE THESE — BOUND TO BE GOOD

BEFORE THE SUN CAME OUT — THE FIRE HYDRANT LOOKED LONELY WITH HIS LITTLE HAT

CHASING THE RABBIT IS A WHOLE OTHER LEVEL FROM CHASING THE DRAGON

Notes to/for us 
Con/Jur/d, 12/27/2024

Your recovery is boring
as was your addiction, we're
taught to be heroes, and then
prevented at all costs, or
subsumed by the owners
who decide which of our
cohort lives, which dies 

The Pentagon is an active
actuary table, making decisions
on how to maximize profit

Our wife accused us of being
addicted to chaos during the
divorce, 
            
 HOW ELSE

can we remove our rusted 
armor, plant the sword/gun
in the cold/hot earth,

remember who we were
before accountants and other 
artists of poorly written
predictable plots

strapped us in 
sent us to battle for the pleasure
of unnecessary Caesars, who from their
despotic couches and infernal factories
BELIEVE (really, they do)

SUBMISSION TO TRADITION IS FREEDOM

While we 
want to roll in the mud
smell the earth
dig for why
we were born

HERE

at this time, our brief
unstoried life, waits
BREATH HELD

for us to begin

ONCE UPON A TIME, 
we began 
and someday 
we’ll END

between is entirely 
up to 
us.

NOT NECESSARILY HAPPY WITH THAT ONE — BUT DUE TO A SLIGHT WARMING TODAY IS A BIT DRIPPY

THE SEASON TOUCHED US DESPITE THE RESISTANCE

Alright, back to your midwinter dreams!

Much Love,

Con/Jur/d, 12/27/2024
