I liked the idea of oneword. It sounded like a place to read some good thoughts and maybe write some, but as I learned today, it may be populated by remedial humans and 14 year olds. Goodbye oneword.

port and tort, after dinner delight
I don’t drink the port though, it gives me a headache.
the idea is nice though, thick and sweet and intoxicating.
Things like that should not cause pain. -
Joni wrote about the word couch 1 year, 8 months ago
not the place for me. Couch? ouch
I’d rather sleep on the floor.
I’d rather walk out the door and into my car and drive off.
Couch is for slouch. Haven’t owned one in years. Makes for lazy time…
sometimes I miss the cuddling. -

Joni wrote about the word rally 1 year, 8 months ago
really? rally?
today of all days, with its overcast and heartache
Today when I rallied at 5am to get on a train, to get on a bike, to get to a class that I didn’t want to be in in the first place.
Rally the troops of my soul to do something worthwhile. -
Joni wrote about the word hover 1 year, 8 months ago
I do
Like my mother
Like I am his mother, I hover and judge.
I hover and critique the world as though I am without flaw
because I am full of flaw
because I work so hard to be above it -
Joni wrote about the word bars 1 year, 8 months ago
Places people go to live and die.
Feels like living, but killing yourself simultaneously.
In so many ways a place to put bars on happiness.
Barred from living the life you seek. -

Salt in my nose
changed my life.
neti.
Salt in the shower, neti
now no allergies, no sinus infections, no headaches.
NO Asthma.
Salt in my nose
changed my life.
neti.
Salt, like the ocean, purifies us -
Joni wrote about the word sponge 1 year, 8 months ago
Did I miss it, that magic time when a brain is a sponge,
when my son was a sponge… did I give enough,
did I waste it?
Is there still time?
Can we get re-sponged even in our older years? -

We gonna rock down to…
sometimes you don’t think you’ll find yourself on the same avenue
16 years in the past
16 years ago, a different you
Same people, nothing new.
Like time stayed still here. -
Joni wrote about the word chance 1 year, 8 months ago
Chance is a dog I know
In most ways he is slow.
But in the river he dives
and I follow.
He dove under a boulder
and shot out the other side.
I did too.
It was a hell of a ride. -

Secretary
A foreign concept to me.
But, perhaps a good idea.
Yes, I think I need a secretary. -
Joni wrote about the word missed 1 year, 9 months ago
My aching back missing happy morning sleepy time.
I miss the work.
Off target sometimes, but alway on track.
Sometimes I hit it spot on.
