Facing Environmental Struggles
My housemate turned the living room into a gym, and he's having friends over all the time to use it with him. I just went to ask him to stop dropping the weights (after asking him yesterday) and he was in there with 2 friends today with the door closed. The living room is a … Continue reading Facing Environmental Struggles
I Back
I back,I've got a bed desk (and I thought I'd finished splashing on endless adaptations to maintain my peace),Can now write from the blissful sanctuary of my bed, with my laptop,With all the floor vibrations from constantly-stampeding housemates dampened out by the thick mattress; I had a couple of months' grace, from last August,Once I'd … Continue reading I Back

The Survival Game 10x

Autism Learnings And Grief

An Errant Meteor
He was an errant meteor,Blazing across the solar system,Skirting the fringes of planetary atmospheres, He was an errant meteor,Arriving unannounced,Inserting himself into alien worlds; Playing with fire, uncaring of dangers,He kicked up a storm,Triggered tsunamis, But he also melted hearts of nitrogen ice,He loosened ancient glaciers,Giving birth to new life.
