<span style="font-size: large;">John beams. <span style="font-family: inherit;">Glows might be more accurate. We approach each other on the sidewalk. Good morning, he says. And to you. It's my birthday, he says. I'm fifty years old. Born in 1969. Happy birthday! He's walking to a nearby lake. He's got fifty dollars in his pocket. A present from the guy who owns the place where he's staying. There's more good news. He has stopped drinking and, to top that, his schizophrenia, well, right now it's not so bad. Shelter, some cash, a relatively stable mind. Yeah, John glows.

Wearing pajamas<br />
While walking my dogs<br />
Do my neighbors see me<br />
Do they care<br />
My bottoms / bag / out of my boots<br />
My robe / peeks / out of my parka<br />

Where are my pajamas<br />

The squirrel appeared to be running to some other destination. Then snow fell and tracks appeared. That scurrying I heard was him (them) nearly indoors. If I were a squirrel, I'd chill here where it's cozy and warm. It (they) have to go. The critter catcher agrees. This time of year it's more humane to break their necks, he says. They will die quickly, and then freeze. Otherwise they would freeze while still alive.

<span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: large;">On a recent road-bike ride I was a dick-head* to someone who was, in my opinion, a dick-head to me. Here's some advice: don't be a dick-head unless you're an experienced dick-head (not me, I think) because being an inexperienced dick-head is bad for your overall wellness (perhaps for experienced dicks, too). Rather than unleashing your inner dick-head, stand down, have a pint, or do whatever's needed to dampen "you as dick-head" writ large. More than the ill effects on your mental and physical health is that, in my opinion (again), there are enough dick-heads having their day. You (and I, I think) can do better. Once you're home you can punch the sh**t out of your inner dick-head, and then watch "I Love Dick", the new TV series that's not at all (sort of, in my opinion) about being a <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5478730/" target="_blank">dick-head</a>.</span>Baby Girl Hodge, Minneapolis MNhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07938123523983361370noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6717827391909636242.post-24645139403829365612016-12-12T13:41:00.002-08:002016-12-12T13:41:52.225-08:00Crush<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I'm sorry, I'm sorry, says the boy with no shirt sitting atop a unicycle. I don't believe him and press into his apology. Then why cross in front of me, weave around me, and then cross again? Because he wanted to reach the button on a crosswalk post where his hand now rests, holding him upright on one wheel. I said I'm sorry, I said I'm sorry, he says. The light changes and we go separate ways. Except for his voice. It plays an audio loop in my head. I know this voice. Not the boy, but the voice of an afraid child facing an angry adult. This voice breaks me with each step of my running shoes on the pavement. I pound now to push out its frequency. I stop and turn back. I want to say I'm sorry even if I still don't believe him. </span>Baby Girl Hodge, Minneapolis MNhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07938123523983361370noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6717827391909636242.post-75937492053529422092016-07-23T20:14:00.001-07:002016-07-25T07:29:45.201-07:00Lake talk remnant<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">The other day a man placed a hand on my forehead and asked another man named Jesus to take away my migraine pain. Did it work, he says, after the treatment. There was momentary relief, I reply, probably from the human caring. I continue to stand at the cafe counter. He remains by my side. Can you make my latte arrive faster, I ask. The other day a man poured water on my hands. He wants me to feel the power of a scrub laced with gold. Oh my god, I say, touching my softened skin. I'm Jewish, he says, we say O-M-GEE. He offers me a deal. Fifty dollars off the regular price for scrub and butter. I decline. Please send people to my shop, he says. The other day a woman runs around a lake. I've been wearing the wrong bra size all my life, she says. Her correct assessment plagues many. I hold back from chasing after her and giving my source for cups and measurements. Instead, I tend to my bosom and seek a refresher garment. What you bought before isn't here now says the woman who a few seasons ago wrapped a tape measure under my breasts. Buyers live on the coasts not the Midwest, she says. They want change, to make trends. We want the same, she says. I leave with a prayer to O-M-GEE. Simple, I plead, make this simple.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Exit my car. Walk across the road to a bridge. Stop. I put my hand to my chest when I see a crowd standing along the rail, a cop guiding traffic, a television crew recording. A woman heads my direction. Has it happened again, I ask. She looks confused. Has someone else jumped? Oh, wow, no, I don't think so, she says. She's with an animal rights group. They want the man who shot Cecil the Lion to face charges. I feel relief. I thought another person jumped, I say, and point to the memorial attached to the rail. She turns her head and sees it for the first time. She looks surprised. The flowers and the candles honor a woman who two weeks ago threw herself over the rail into the morning traffic on the highway below. She looks horrified. I did not know her, I say. Not even her name. The activist woman stands here for a lion killed for a reason I misunderstand. Maybe I would be here for a lion, too, if not for a woman whose action made headlines in the paper, on the television for one day. Maybe I would be </span>here for a lion, too, if not for a woman who jumped off a bridge I crossed moments before. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I note the name of the lion support people. They could be my people. They have tucked away fancy doughnuts in a pink box, safe from traffic and random passersby. </span></span>Baby Girl Hodge, Minneapolis MNhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07938123523983361370noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6717827391909636242.post-17523487885513971852015-08-28T11:43:00.001-07:002015-08-28T17:15:51.282-07:00Two Ships<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">You were there? I was there too. Where were you? Around the corner, where we sat before. Oh, I was in line. How odd that we were there at the same time but didn't see each other. Exactly where were you? Where the benches are around the corner from the line for food. I'm not seeing it in my head. Anyway, what did you have to eat? The scallop taco. Me too. It's the best. Yeah, it's so good. Later, I tell a third party. Guess who was there while we were there? Really? Yes, she was there while we were there and we didn't see each other. Where? Where we were before with her. Where we were when we were there together sitting on a bench around the corner. We were never where we were together with her. That was another place, third party days. That's where she was, not us. You're right. I see it now. We were at one place and she was at another.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I looked online at a picture of James Foley on his knees. A man behind him, dressed in black and face covered, held his head and a knife against his throat. The photo looks fake. It could not really be real. That is my reaction to such moments. When I was a girl my parents took my sister and me to see the folies in Las Vegas. Women walked across a stage wearing sequins, feathers, little else. I saw bare breasts for the first time. (No, I had never seen my mother's.) Are those real, I asked. Yes, my mother said.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Dizzy. Spinning. Circling. Me around them. Them around me. Too many tomes at this book expo that spreads across a convention center's main floor like water breaking through a levee and flooding in all directions. I select one booth and stop, announcing my presence and explaining my condition. May I stand here? Sure, no problem. Their empathy helps. I do not confess my transgression of being a book thief. Yes, in sixth grade I stole a book from a fair held in my elementary school's auditorium. My palms were sweaty then as a I grabbed a mass paperback about Michael Jackson. A woman saw the crime and escorted me to the school principal, my former first grade teacher. Disappointed he said. Disappointed in a model student. A role model others in this school look up to he said. I could not explain myself. Mislead by others. Bad company. Greedy for printed pages between covers. My punishment was exile: I was forbidden from returning to the book fair. It was there for a week longer. This harsh penalty I accepted in exchange for no call made home to my mother. No reason to steal now. I have money for books, a library card and Michael Jackson is dead. </span>Baby Girl Hodge, Minneapolis MNhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07938123523983361370noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6717827391909636242.post-5919208580400617482015-08-28T09:28:00.000-07:002015-08-28T09:34:02.186-07:00Deli<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Sandwich choices astound. Ingredients cause me to pause. Help. A voice hears me before I say anything out loud (I think). Can I help you, it says. Yes, what's speck, I nearly reply when my eyes stumble across the scarf around the voice's neck. I know that pattern, that wool. Those pink flowers on black. The matted fringe from machine washing. That scarf purchased while I lived overseas in a nation where women have long stayed warm with woven flora wrapped around their heads. The scarf came home with me. Became a sometime decorative object. An affectation for Halloween. Then a move and a purge. This piece was not selected for keeping. I want to tell the voice this story. That I know the cloth. Where did you get that scarf, I ask. A nearby second-hand store. It's pretty, I say. Yeah, I like it, says the voice, it's old-fashioned. The voices comes from a body around 20 years old. Probably the body attends classes at the college across the street. I stop myself from sharing stories about the scarf, its journey from there to here. In another land, I want to say, you would wear that scarf while bringing fresh strawberries from your farm to market. It would be tradition and function. You would look like many others. Here, you are an original making expensive food for few. It works. The voice wears it well. Less said I decide is, as usual, best.</span>Baby Girl Hodge, Minneapolis MNhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07938123523983361370noreply@blogger.com2
