The Someday Tally

Squeezed in an hour last night to write. Ended up just flinging words at the screen seeing what would stick.

Very little did.

But the effort was made. Hopefully that will count in somebody’s tally of me someday.

Until tomorrow…

Pulp & Shrouds

A coat of porcupine quills?

Or a shroud of razor wire?

Neither and both, I suppose.

It could be so, so much worse, but the chronic awkwardness I wear every day certainly feels to me as painful and cutting as both these over-exaggerations.

Most days I pretend it doesn’t bother me at all. Somedays the ill-fitted-ness of me is simply crushing.

Today is someday, I confess.

*sighs… straightens the collar of the quill coat, trying to look sharp and brave in all my imagined pokiness… smiles stubbornly*  

Apologies.

This stupidity will pass, too; and tomorrow will be a better day.

Until tomorrow…
