very little sleep
each of us needing
something different

kip passing out quicker
when there’s noise
a show or a song or
something to cover up the
drip
drip
drip
of the inconsistent rain

and i need quiet
preferably absolute silence
or
enough noise to all meld together
into a wash of nothingness —
i want it to rain harder,
then i’d fall asleep instantly
but the drip
drip
drips get to me too
and the show or music
take too much brain and i
feel i need to concentrate

[how can i feel so sleepy
just lying horizontally, but the minute
there’s a distraction, i feel like i’ll
never sleep again?]

explore
and
expedite
every
human
experience

that’s the kips
that’s the kips

wanting to suck the marrow out of life
not miss out on one thing
but also
to achieve and advance in
the quickest amount of time
possible

like it’s a race

like it’s a contest

can the kips achieve
the
full human experience
by the time they hit
45?

[can the kips understand
that not every experience can be
caught, some are fleeting, and some
literally cannot happen until
old age is actually gotten]

[can the kips admit that
every human life is different
even
each other’s?]

i so appreciate my kip
for being there with me
as i state
the state of my mind
and emotions
and they comfort
or support
or advise
as i need/ask

our communication has always been
one of my favorite things about us

for there will always be
times of stress, it’s how
we tackle them together,
on the same team, that counts

we celebrated
ten years
and then we celebrated
thirteen and then we celebrated
just being married and boring together
and i love our life here
with ups and downs
and stresses and calm moments
and so many sillies —
my kip is my home
and my home is my kip
and we are kips together
on the same team
[la même équipe]
and we always will be

with love

ten years

it feels too long
and not long enough

like we just got married this morning
but also we’ve been wedded for a hundred thousand years

i know you so well
and
i’m learning you every day

and i love this adventure we’ve got going
and just started

and i cannot
cannot
cannot wait

for tomorrow
and the next ten
or ten million
years by your side

kip playing with music
a whole set up here at our
kitchen table

and something in me wants to create

is it music?
am i ready to hear my own voice
echoing back from me
via vocoder at least?

or am i more in the physical scheme
and want to cut and trim and sew and see
what kind of creation i can make with
my own two hands

or am i finally ready to write that book
i’ve been threatening to write
forever and a half

or is it the video series
or a play
or silly skits
on social media
[probably not that last one
if my mental health is any key
or indication, having done so well
these past few months
without
that curse looming over me
via my phone…]

[who knows]
