The unnamed plant in the corner I repotted is dying it must not like the soil or its new place in my living room she stands up straight but her leaves are wilting I noticed today         I’m not who I was         just a few months ago I am aging drastically I can’t say that I really regret it it is nice to have some security life has been easier but my spirit is fading Maybe some miracle grow a little sleep a few days of sunshine and just some readjusting will have us both looking up again Written March 31st, 2002 © on Mar 31 2002 11:50 AM PST   10 • 0 • 12
