Cry Baby |

| I was on the treadmill at the gym yesterday, and CNN was playing a story about the gorillas murdered in the Congo. I had heard the story on NPR last week, but I saw the pictures of the gorillas with t... Posted by Mary Forrest on Sun, 29 Jun 2008 12:41:00 PST |

Last night, the moon was full and low. |

| It was hot all day and warm all night. Tepid and still. Frustratingly still. In the absence of a breeze, everything feels like waiting.I have gotten used to nighttime walks on my street. Maybe even bo... Posted by Mary Forrest on Sat, 21 Jun 2008 06:12:00 PST |

Disenfranchisellusionment |

| I keep singing "Why Bother" by Weezer to myself. But it's not about relationship angst. It's about the election. I'm an avid and outspoken Democrat, but something happened to me in the 2000 elections.... Posted by Mary Forrest on Sat, 21 Jun 2008 05:26:00 PST |

I was dreaming about dog catchers. |
|
| I was a bit out of sorts today. Angry and hurt, a little bit heartsick over things that aren't actually beyond my control. But that's kind of the devil's bargain for today. I once told my mother I had... Posted by Mary Forrest on Thu, 08 May 2008 10:23:00 PST |

Absence of Altitude |

Rabbits Foot |

This time it was a song on t.v., and I couldn’t make out the words. |
