How I Became A Vagabond Mouse
So the other morning I’m on my way to work, passing by the elementary school here in The Village, and I am all of a sudden cross-legged on the floor of the library, head buried in this book I discovered. It was, oh, maybe 20 years ago now and this was my second co-op towards becoming a Library Tech. I had been putting the books … Continue reading How I Became A Vagabond Mouse
Dang Nammit, There I Go Being Divine Again
My eyes open to my darkened room; outside the sky is still charcoal. Generally, the sky is dark when I awake as I am an early riser. I stumble towards the kitchen, oops, back up, who am I kidding, first I have to pee… THEN I shuffle the 6 or so feet to the kitchen and grab my glass French Press coffee pot, hoping for … Continue reading Dang Nammit, There I Go Being Divine Again
The Poppycock Of Patriarchy
When I arrive, I dismount, and enter through the black wrought iron gates, ahead of me I can see the tower, the indomitable walls rise up over the banks of the river. I walk along the pathway that traces the edge of the hill, The Mount on my left, the river down below to my right. As I round the terraced hill the giant Oak … Continue reading The Poppycock Of Patriarchy

Walks In The Woods
And so I returned once again to that little woods at Euston Meadow, as I had to see it just one more time before all the leaves fell. I had been meaning to for days, but then we had our first snowfall and I knew the end was nigh. Ever since I have wandered around in my soul trying to somehow capture the words to … Continue reading Walks In The Woods

How I Got That Pain In Me Arse
When I was quite young Mom said I got so mad at her for something that I refused to speak to her for 3 days. Never once in that time did I budge. Such a steadfastness and my inability to be persuaded otherwise I imagine gave her a sense of both pride as well as a couple pinches of “dear god why have you burdened … Continue reading How I Got That Pain In Me Arse
mythologising, and then she said
this morning, up before the dawn hunting the snark, the lies of lousy leaders and lascivious letches, you know, the usual suspects, lost and found, i had discovered, pillars to live by: belong, have a purpose, transcend, and tell tales, she said. so after a nap, and a peek at more trolls, then a visit from a friend, and maybe it was his tale of … Continue reading mythologising, and then she said
