I’ve quit
again
stop start
stop
quit
I don’t think I’ll go back
it wastes the days
makes me so sick
takes so little for me to overdo
I resent lost time
and suffering
my body doesn’t want it
and tells me so
ferociously
alcohol you say?
that too
but I was talking about men
The photograph is my mother’s father’s mother. I have one of the originals. The back is stamped: Battle Creek, Michigan. So she was having a “rest cure” at Dr. Kellogg’s famous health retreat.
