“Hold on, hold on!”
“Nono. It’s just words.”
—an actual conversation
Nor do they explain the caption under a picture
of a woman and child right here on CNN.com (I
think it’s Christina Hendricks from Mad Men?)
which says: “Parenting a child with no future” ....
[Meanwhile, back at the Ponderosa...] I’ve been
reading Denny Smith, which I’ve discovered is
the perfect little tome to keep on top of the
toilet tank. Hoping this is taken as a
compliment, by Bob anyway, I stretch my mind
back to the most glorious of all thrones, the one
in my grandmother’s west bathroom (the one
with the sliding door – her bathroom), with its
Readers Digests and its Country Livings and
(I remain pretty sure but never 100% certain
on this one) its Cosmopolitans. And, OMG,
how I woke up writing poetry this morning.
