spring is here
new leaves on trees
and radiation rain
the japan earthquake
continues to unnerve me
child mother back to fighting
lawyers outside the courtroom
demanding another year of therapy
i steadfastly refused
so we're due inside the court this month
in one last therapy session
selected pre-school is announced
along with demands for money
visitation is back to square one
with strict rules and no overnights
four hours on tues
is not enough
we spend an hour in the car
and hours later crying
"daddy i didn't eat meat today
today i see you so i don't eat meat"
how can a child survive
this life of transience
a long trail of
broken families
deserted homes
born in cerritos
moved to cypress at two
after the divorce
back to cerritos at three
and now long beach at five
while dad moved twice
to santa monica
anaheim
now thinking of long beach
where will it end?
the remaining building
from marriage is being sold
no more land-lording for me
got rid of daddy's old car
black 2000 toyota camry
brought blue 2007 honda element
plan to go camping
still working on documentary
on ecofeminism, nemesis
living with vegan roommate, michelle
trying to live outside of the stream
of ambition and male achievement
