White wash walls
Pink rinse hair
Vote for committees and motions
Write this post

Cheering
At other peoples pain,
Shame,
Mistreatment,
Saddens me
More
Than the act
Of cruelty itself

I’ve come to expect inhumanity

But I cannot get use
To those who assist the abuse

Standing by is complicit

When
Does
Pattern
Engender
Schizoaffective
Autosuggestibility?

Aspiring to an idea
That doesn’t exist
It’s neither
Good nor bad
It just is

As I prepare for conference
I reach for my notes
My information pack
Opening my folder
The agenda falls into my lap
And a pear,

A pear, a pear
Takes me back
There
Where
We met

On a tray by reception
People dived for the pastries
But I told you, I love pears
Because I wanted to grow an orchard
And apples were too complicated
For the rest of the day you dropped pears into my hands
