Rainy Days

It doesn’t take much to want to stay home some days. But a rainy day is a notch of yes added. Relaxing while watching your favorite game show, movie, or detective drama. Rewinding if need be or recording if necessary. This twenty-first-century living is to be in awe. I’m at an age where I recall folk planning their day around soap operas or even a commercial in order to run to the bathroom or grab a snack. And hoping neither will take more time than the commercial.

One of my fondest memory is the fishing trip. My brother and I baited hooks while sitting around the campfire. We had so much fun talking about all the fun we were having.Needless to say, we were so talkative that the fish took notice and stayed away. That day was the day I ate fried eel fried in a frying pan over a campfire. What a Kodak moment.

I’m bobbin and weaving all over this danger. Trying to steady myself. I don’t want to fall. At my age, the worst scenario is seeing myself fall to my knees since they hurt frequently. I don’t care to borrow anymore hurt.

Why am I screaming? Why am I crying? And why am I in such excruciating pain? I’m bleeding profusely from the right side of my forehead. Must press down tightly, for my blood will flood the ground. I’m getting lightheaded. Ready to faint on the spot. What happened?

jailbait

No, I didn’t want him locked up. Yes, he did harm me when he stole from me. The feeling that only a victim would and could understand washed all over me. He could be my son. He appears to be around the same age as my son. My only child. Is he somebody’s only? Is his mother thinking of him at this moment in time? Is she tearing up? Is she praying?

No, I didn’t want him locked up. What could he really learn in a world of hurt?
