Molten Anger

(After),My host and I had removed the clumps of debris from her kitchen...we moved on to her living room..

The couch(?) was drowning in piles of clothes..most still in the store's bags..crockery..school supplies..a random jar of pennies..prescription eye wear..never worn rain boots.. a bag of stone hard
bagels

I held one large garbage bag for discards and one for donated items.. She would hand me items while declaring their category

She had asked to stop saying,"good job!", through-out the process..I thought I was quiet and helpful..that is what I wanted to be..

I felt venom through-out the whole cleaning session..pure molten anger..something changed ..unknown
to me..we stopped our cleaning sessions and she demeaned everyday after that..

Broccoli Cheddar

A woman and I were surveying the soup options at an airport bistro..she started to show favor to the
broccoli cheddar..

I asked," Are you about to wing to another city?, because that would not be a considerate choice for your plane mates.."

She smilingly assured me that she had arrived at her destination

Science Fiction

I interact with men all day long.  My opening question is usually,"what are you reading"?

They consistently respond, "science fiction..Steven King"

When wanting a date..forget a singles bar..hit a book store

Triangle

I have infrequent communication with a man.   A mutual female friend asked what the deal was between the man and me.

perhaps not all relationships require labels

Youth and Age

My face has both acne and wrinkles..after years of a clear complexion..I have patches of a break-out..

When I look at my face..it looks like an odd mixture of youth and age ..

Tele-complaint

A man called me and spent his words complaining about various people.  I responded in the same way to each of his complaints

Most people are suffering in their own way....which could be a source for some of their behavior

He ended the call

Spoons

A man told me crack kills..I reacted: "not to mention, what it does to spoons"
