Terrible,
the earthquake and tsunami,
in Japan.
The Japanese are an,
organised,
resilient,
people,
they’ll pull through,
Godspeed.
Yesterday,
started off well,
I was feeling good,
had a rhythm going,
and then came,
the rain,
and,
the weirdos.
But, hey,
to paraphrase,
Scarlett O’Hara,
today is another day.
Gone With The Wind.
How many of you have read,
Gone With The Wind,
by Margaret Mitchell?
I read it the summer,
I turned,
fourteen?
Yeah, I’m pretty sure,
fourteen.
What an impression,
it left,
on my baby butch,
mind,
imagination.
I love that book.
I know it’s full of,
stereotypes,
sexism,
racism,
longing for a,
romantic old south,
that may have existed,
almost exclusively,
in peoples’ imaginations,
but,
still.
Scarlett is so strong,
such a survivor,
her mother,
class personified,
Melanie Wilkes,
the very definition,
of loyalty,
Stand by your man.
I confess,
I always thought,
a good butch,
wouldn’t have,
walked out on,
Scarlett,
like Rhett did.
What can I say,
I’m crazy that way,
I sometimes substitute,
butches,
for the male,
characters,
it’s weird,
but,
it works for me,
also,
I’m almost certain,
others do the same.
Do you?
Well,
I must go to work.
Do I feel like it?
Damn, no.
But, you gotta do,
what you gotta do.
Later girls,
BB
