Grace
I’ve modified behavior now and then –eschewing sugar, cannabis, the pills.And I’ve received congratulations whenI mention or describe foregoing ills.Self-deprecation blooms in my reply –It wasn’t all that hard – I’d had enough,was how I felt, I mentioned with a … Continue reading

Videophilia

Re(medi)ality
I watched you take yourself off nicotine,abruptly and without a backward slip.I witnessed when you altered your routine,eliminating alcohol with grace.It’s true your sister tried to intervene;a few of us made comments that you heard.But you cold-turkey quit. What do … Continue reading
