ting seen in the gutter

stepping out the gate, dancing on my mind, past the wonder-of-the-world grown from solitary small bush to bushes and tree+branches winding horizontally through other foliage to colonise every corner of the yard, sneaking though the ixora, creeping between citrus, passing by the pawpaw to fight up with thyme harbouring similar imperial designs, crisscrossing the steps in a trail of leaves sure to sprout all the way to the gutter with its mix of old+new inventory glinting in waning sunlight at the side of the road...1 empty plastic sweetdrink bottle, cut open to serve new purpose in its 2nd life as a piper's gear, 1watch-face, no back, hanging on to half of 1strap of what had been its band, 1 small tv, smashed, 3wonder-of-the-world leaves topped by a dinnermint wrapper, 1wheel, bent, missing spokes, and 2 bicycle-chain segments, dark with grease but dry in this season where gutters see more rubbish than rainwater, 1 hi-lo bag ripped open by dog or fowl to spill the neighbour's old kfc boxes, used pampers and other garbage into our consciousness, and i recall the de la soul lyric "...neighbourhoods is just 'hoods 'cause nobody ain't neighbours no more...", greet everybody i pass en route to the maxi, noticing how many don't respond...
so sometimes i worry i do too much linking and not enough writing, but i just now scroll all the way down the mainpage and am pleased to find it seeming not so. good. so i can link up. it have plenty tings of interest that i wanna be able to find again and anybody actually reading here might too:
especially this piece, full of photos of frida kahlo and her amazing work+wardrobe; major inspiration...
speaking of work i admire, this take on the function of the actor in the performance of shakespeare as the completer of the piece, the solution to the puzzle, articulates so well something my instincts have always told me, something frustratingly missing from the production of midsummer i saw the other night...
and about work i doh admire, i eh planning to see the tyler perry flick, but the perspective of this piece worth the read whether you see it or not.
sunity maharaj mighta say this weeks ago, but what she say about what constitutes politics and trini non/engagment with it is worth a reread and something i need to be able to find again when i writing mlf ting; and in the wake of recent events, read it again even if you already did.
this, i admit i eh fact-check, but it was such promising news about sustainable energy potentials, i had to share...big-up portugal!
and more good news before i wrap, somebody else articulating ideas i pushing long time- i relatively lucky to be the kinna woman i am, and always feel bad for the less sexually-fortunate, so for the benefit of the whole world, lewwe spread the word so everybody finally gets the memo that the orgasm gap is fixable and doh hadda exist- lewwe all feel good...
and on that note, look dessert for anybody who appreciates men-in-underwear as much as i do, 5photos too hot for fasbook [so they say]...enjoy...
walk good.
