Family History

Years and years ago my youngest son went head first down a wet slide. He shot off the end of it and when he landed he broke his arm.

I had to ask myself, does this surprise me?

‘The Hatred’ by Pietro Pajetta, 1896.

I’ve decided to not watch those true crime shows on Netflix- or the Murder Channel this weekend because it occurred to me that there are better ways to kill time.

I’m going to read instead.

Abandoned

I feel like the Muses have abandoned me.

Can that really happen? Will they go away and stay away?

How can I win back their love?

How?
