This poem is a pantoum. Pantoums were made popular in the 19th century by writers such as Victor Hugo. This is my pantoum.
This baby, this baby, what is he worth?
His life gave me life, gave my life wings
Without this pure humanity I am a dearth
Of caves, and glass, and empty things
His life gave me life, gave my life wings
My heart gave his heart, gave his heart blood
Of caves and glass and empty things
Fill my cave, and my glass, and my empty things, flood.
My heart gave his heart, gave his heart blood
I cry for him, pray for him, cry for him more
Fill my cave, and my glass, and my empty things, flood
I'll fill your heart, with my cave, and my glass, I pour.
I cry for him, pray for him, cry for him more
This baby, this baby, what is he worth?
I'll fill your heart, with my cave, and my glass, I pour
Without this pure humanity I am a dearth.
Anyways, back out of the world of words, and into my life:
I doubt anyone reads this, which is a good thing, because as anyone who knows me can tell you, I am a private and very modest person. Why are you laughing? Anyways, we are probably most likely moving to Reno! As one of Ayn Rand's characters explains, (I think this quote is in 'Fountainhead') says, "I'm going to Reno". Well, I guess it was a way for her to say, "I'm getting a divorce." In those days (the fourties, I think), Reno was very 'liberal' and granted divorces very easily. Well, I am announcing that Richard and I are NOT getting divorced, we are just moving to Reno. I hope moving to Reno does not make us want to get divorced, because every time I tell someone we're moving there, the response is, "Oh. (then, they pause and they scan my face for any detectable micro-expressions) I'm sorry."
Anyways, yada yada yada.
So, I'm going to finish up this semester and then transfer to UNR? Should I? I think they have a very good liberal arts department etc. That's what they say. It's a beautiful campus. We also have decided to first choose the best elementary schools in the area, and move inside the zoning areas for those schools. The problem is, I've sent two men out there to view homes for rent and make accommodations for our move. Was that a good move? My mom said to have Richard bring a sample of the air in the home for me to smell before I commit to a rental agreement. The one thing I DO trust Richard to do is to get a house that doesn't stink (He's color blind and so his nose makes up where his eyes are screwed up-[like an autistic savant, he smells colors in food, smelly foot odors etc. (I read once where an autistic savant who was very good with everything and anything that had to do with numbers saw every number visually in his mind and every number had a distinct color and shape)]). I guess if the house doesn't smell, and we're in a good area for schools, one could not ask for much more, could they? No pics this time, guys. Soz. Rich has all the pics on his new computer. I don't get a new computer, cuz I'm a giiiirrrrrlllll. I've got to pee now. Goodnight. xoxoxo
