I Need Opera

So apparently the Baltimore Opera Company is going bankrupt. I discovered this only after I went to check out the Spring schedule on their website. All shows canceled, it said. How terribly sad I was.

What am I to do in a place that gradually offers less and less great artistic outings?

Not live in the city, for one. So I feel isolated. And less sad.

Still, I have already boycotted the Kennedy Center in DC, so where shall I go now?

This had made me feel out of joint. One of many things.

Bread Crumbs

I have been curled up under the blankets working on my poems all day long.

I spent who knows how long trying to think of something a vacuum cleaner would be useful in cleaning. All I have is "bread crumbs" and I don't want to use that.

Now I want a coke. But it is far too cold to think about leaving my nest of blankets. I fear the outside.
