This year has gone by so quickly!
It started with sushi
Friends
My child returned

It saw me marching in a night park
Practicing my salute
Willing my son into…

It saw work,
A fight on a rooftop restaurant
A new years toast by the bay
More work.

It brought summer heat
Saturdays mulching
Trying to write grants for the community
And accusations of racism from a fat white ghetto woman.

53 is coming to an end come this October.

Time to let go, to stop trying, to give myself back my life, I am not here to solve the world’s problems, it can solve its own problems,
Everyone is in charge of their own problems.

It is time to only give to me.
