Impending Depression --------------------------- I wish I won the Powerball before the first snowstorm so I could move to Australia for this winter. deja vu again... all i can see of last november decemeber january february is the dreary greyness slush squishing under my canvas shoes i tired of scraping the snow piled high on the windshield my hands numb, my lips windburned my sleepless eyes watery in the morning chill... And when I turned the ignition, the car did not start. Life stopped in a soul-shivering inertia. This year Maxi is with me. I will curl under my blanket; her soft muzzle breathing warmth on my cheeks. --- mG.(10-25-04)
