exactly

 to sum up 20 years in one word pic


ten years ago at last...out of the blue

(typed to the  actual speedy musac of the Lens...)


Michelle

'raggety' ...the perfect woman


then

today she would be wandering the alleys of foulmouth

 linnen and Natural Store bag

then

love at first sight ....of the lines as filigree around her alive and warrior eyes... earned lines

and her talk " our kids will not be part of this...consumerism.." Starbucks late 2012


six months later

" i am far far too good to waste a second of my life ever bothering to dance with anyone ever in my life ...and grew out of playing pool  in pubs ...age 18..... no way darlin'.... "


 ten mins later ... " well ..we got nuthin else to do you snivelin little teenager...you think you can thrash me...ehhh..ell lets see"


As she cues up... lethal champion as history recorded...

on the jukebox comes

 " ferk... its like bein 18 again in the pub when i was 18...i aint been in one years or heard this for years.... in lublic....free bird.... you got magic powers or something?"


last year, near ten years on....


" omg... Michelle... hi wow ehhh....i havent seen you since ...our last talk at 2016 Green gathering[ exact second etched in minds eye and canera too... stuttering for effect....].... i so so so missed occasional encounters...so how has.... the last few years for you...did you get my letter at your [ steiner] school ...about girls riding for free.

"..land use for free... few of us....we had such such a great winter..?" sat hunched in the sun by horrorforld cathedral  .....

her simple phone same model as mine 2012 into 13..

......upgraded to a smartie


" ohhh.. [ pained look on the face of a woman i only ever saw, alive and so love-at-first-sight...engaged...brave ...alive warrior eyes and body...every sinew of it gloriously on fire...she was resistence...and real  mud of hillside living .. on her booties that first encounter, reak....2012]....sorry....i cant talk now....i really cant be distracted...ive got a 'CRISIS'... going on in this...[ nodding at the phone shes a squintin into]...

"  ...

.... the true moment of ultra schism..


even her....


they ruined even her
