iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Debt descends like a hurricane Taking your roof and your car Life sucked up on the whim of a wind The spiral of disbelief In the eye of self recrimination The debris of who you were Is a lemonade stand Dumbfounded children gaze When all is gone with the storm Rebuild #vss365 #hurricane

We need students of western fashion and the pillars of good wardrobe choices. Leaders who understand that a gray 3-piece absolutely does not go with a pair of cognac loafers. The power and freedom of not having his spray-on tan be the exact same shade of shoe leather.

We will live together on simple terms My sanctuary in your home Your sanctuary in my arms I’ll bring logs up the granite steps You’ll light and heat the summit Children tall and small, will conspire to keep us company We will Laugh Eat Learn Decorate I will nurture #vss365 #nurture

She first thought him the height of conceit Flamboyantly shirted hedonist Exhibitionism in a lounge bar snug It never left her, he never left her Marriage nor children could button that shirt On the support act’s exit She asked the universe to send her passion And it did #vss365 #passion

This is truly heartbreaking. Dolly Parton was an extraordinary person and an irreplaceable champion of the working class. We are a better country because of her.

On reaching the summit, I peaked to early I stuck a flag on the ground and had it unfurl The ascent complete of the final Munro We’d started the quest three years before ‘Sean break out the whiskey, whats the delay?’ - ‘We’ve climbed this before, it’s that one over there’ #vss365 #summit

Today, like every day My mind will wander down a familiar road Resentment and fear will hook arms to cross They like a road well travelled I’ll walk connected, ears plugged Podcast will stream mollycoddling therapy I’ll question the wisdom of putting more voices in my head #vss365 #road

She stared at that cloud for 15 minutes Inconsequentially meandering A fluff of a moment in the sky With a head in that cloud She heard it speak “Wait until you see what I do next” Her squint disappeared along with the sun “Inconsequential?” “Your turn” #vss365 #turn

The playground a track meet for involuntary sprints with no destination to speak of the thrill of velocity reason enough to dash to climb and swing and bounce and sprint Them’s the vitals of life Dead stop of a peeling bell and all back to class To be convinced otherwise #vss365 #sprint

He never travelled well The first thing he packed was dread, Slipped into the pocket of his carry on Pulling the zip taught, performatively securing with a toy town padlock. Ready to roll through check-in and security Into the overhead, still insecure and unprepared to depart #vss365 #Depart

Wait a minute, hold that thought There’s a fly in on the move and it must be caught Caught? I ask, Do you not mean killed With a rolled up paper or a teatowel whip? No said he and with a tongue like a lash He caught it, he ate it, and went on unabashed #vss365 #unabashed

He called me a liar many times. He was right - except he blamed me for lying about things I didn't do instead of the things I did. #poetry #writing #domesticviolence

I would tell little lies
all the time
just to get away from him
faking weekend overtime
or a doctor's appointment

and I lied by omission
about the online therapy
I did for a year
(being careful to hide it)
to deal with him
and get help to leave him

sometimes a lie is necessary
to save yourself

Dying at 38 of a brain tumour OTD in 1937 was one of music’s greatest tragedies. George Gershwin didn’t touch an instrument until he started piano at 10. At 20 his song Swannee sold 2m copies and he then conquered Broadway with 500 more songs. His musical achievement rocketed with his knockout 1/2

I imagine a frolic Is a rural flaneur Lazily wandering Past fields of manure To some she’s a dither As she stops to admire A particular petal Or a scarecrow’s attire Yet just as her sister On the great boulevards She moves with the grace Of the artist at large #vss365 #frolic

I wanted to make girls swoon Like in the silent movies Before talkies came to ruin it all, Love lives there I thought Where the forearm meets the forehead, As the neck fails in submission, You catch her on the drop, carry her home Remembering not tie her to the railway track #vss365 #swoon
