chump:
i’m amazed at how the deal with goat went down
per script
as with yakov
the same
“we can’t be friends if you don’t respect me”
how can i respect you if you don’t respect yourself?
offering me a house
then
just not
oops, sorry: i was scared
having no control of themselves.
and when they got to have their parting words with me
in the name of Morality
they called me a whore and made grand pronouncements of how they would live my life differently
Great.
i love them both
for what they are
anachronisms
but to spend lots of time with them would just be a waste of time
life
energy
to spend all my life energy and time taking care of them
because they’re not doing it themselves
all aries can’t be like that
what are the other ones like?
i guess i’m a sucker for it
they got my number
“never again is what you swore the time before”
——————
party
last night
i drank too much wine
ate cookies, cake
they emphasized a few times how we all had to go and change our costumes
i wasn’t wearing anything fabulous
but i made due
braided my beard tight into four points
braided my mustache for the first time ever
wraped my hair with my pashmena
then twisted both on either side
when i walked up to Goat and Mirror
they didn’t recognize me
“and you are?”
serious
— just a flick of the aura is all it takes.
——
yet again
i’ve left
today i packed up and put away every trace of me
well
i left some books out on purpose for him to read
went to the shop
did the same
all the space i was taking up
and all the shit i’ve got!
this is all in accord
moving on again
to find / make my own home
—
and six packages to send out in the mail tomorrow!

This Being Human
Rumi – Guest House
This being human is a guest house
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
Take care…it’s slow work.
Hope to visit with you someday
when you’re back in the land of
Queen Califia, by the bay…Mark

Mary J. Blige has this great song, “Press On.” In the lyrics, there is the line: Life Has A Way Of Making You Live It.
That is what is going on here. You are living, in a time when people are afraid of living. And afraid of giving themselves wholeheartedly.
For the record, this generosity does not make you a chump.
