Simply Leen

my monday evening instructor is british
i’m adding his accent to my list
“good thing i never fell in love with…”
a musician
a poet
a man with a british accent

i could seriously sit and listen to him talk about nothing in general for hours

i love the way my body feels skinnier
i hate the way it doesn’t look like it feels

my daughters fighting with each other over every single thing may just drive me to a smack-down

my new receipes
turkey chili
and turkey meatloaf
yum yum
i’m just sayin’

i was in my backyard this weekend
weedeating
and it sunk in a bit more
the feeling of being home i mean
back in cali
my backyard
though i don’t own it
is mine
my patio furniture crying out for some much needed ass-in-chair time
soon soon soon

i read an article online today
i won’t go into it
just about how folks are so busy with their days that they managed to walk past and ignore a man who is a professional concert violist playing for free – for 45-minutes
and i dunno
i’m the person who stops
and i like that about me
i notice the sunset
and the singing of the birds
the breeze in the trees
the lush green grasses growing all around me right now due to our extraordinary amount of rain this season
i’ve always been married to a person who walks on by
and married to a person who would push me to keep on walking
but
i like that i stop
to see
smell
hear
touch
feel
i like that about myself
and
i think i’m gonna keep on being that person
just ‘cuz

i’m very excited about ny
and
very nervous

and now?
tons of folks talking to me
sooooo
off i go
