sirens blaring
phone blowing up
with alarms
take cover
take cover
tv buzzing
if you can
see this
or
hear this
take cover
take cover
so
i went to
my bathtub
safest spot in my cottage
and
rode out
the storm
relaxing
and
blogging
and
reading
and
listening
to music
and
my daughter
texted me
to say
‘that’s exactly how you’d like to go, isn’t it?’
and
i had to agree
and
i kept
my laptop
and
my head
above water
and
all the while
something like this
was going on outside
but inside
all was calm
—
if you want to see the sunshine,
you have to weather the storm.

went to the nail salon
to relax
be pampered
have a pedicure
was put
into
a hello kitty chair
with the
massage option
given water
listened
to my nail tech
who was
a
very
very
very
quiet talker
tried to answer
what she asked
in a way
that didn’t
make me seem
insane
or
off subject
lotion
massage
warm water
scrub
wrap
paint
sleepy
relaxed
drifting
watched
a
bad
made for tv movie
on the screen
with
subtitles
and lots
of hilarious
translation snafus
and ponies
and angst
and there was
candy
all around
and i
read
a trashy magazine
took the quiz
found
i am
most
‘like goldie hawn’
of all
the
celeb possibilities
kept trying
to answer questions
though i had no idea
what she was asking
in her whisper voice
tried to lip read
i probably said that
i like ponies
and
cotton candy
and
my name
is goldie hawn
as i slipped into
a dreamy state
of
hello kitty consciouness
