There's enough drama in the skies
without things getting blown out
of proportion. Focus on what's most
important: the storm and the lives
that could be saved.
All this bickering and name calling
isn't necessary. No need to steal
what isn't yours in the first damn
place: if you want pictures, take.
Your. Own.
So: I have no car, have to wait for
storms to come to me. Bit of a
joke, am I? I. Don't. Care. Fact of
the matter is, I. Still. Chase. I'm
having the time of my life.
Will never be famous. Not in it for
the money. In it for the awe of all
things Sky, to confront the fear that
held me prisoner for too long: 46
years of my life wasted,
being afraid. No more. You do
things your way, I'll do mine, mine.
As I said: more important things
to focus on. Don't need no. More!
Drama. In my life.
This a pleasure to read Karla, this is you, all you, and that what is really important, yes, best poetry I have ring my ears in years, bless you, and keep well! Jasmin Horst
I agree with what Peter & Gene have already said, plus, I can't believe you would allow others opinions of you to bring you down, you are doing what you can, when you can, with or without a car...and a car for stormchasing is just a pain in the butt anyway as you got to buy insurance, then gas, and repairs when necessary...you couldn't afford that right now anyway, so you are SO much better off...Ed
Brava, Karla! What the hell would we do without you? -gene.

right on karla. i can't tell you how proud i am of your spirit. just because you know and feel that life is more than shopping malls and reality shows. let them snicker all they want. let them be coy and snide and condescending. screw them! it's your path, it's your life, live it as YOU SEE FIT.

It takes courage to look inside oneself and in the world, and realize the world can't change you, and shouldn't Very good poem. Enjoyed.
