the same dumb longings
February 13, 2007 Microfiction, Poetry No CommentsJennifer Grotz is here to read today. I’m milling about Greenlaw until I can catch up with her, which should be any minute now. Exciting! I think she’s a pretty darn good reader.
My policy, abruptly canceled. The letter, from my insurance company: your life is canceled. I knew I had life insurance through them but apparently did not know the terms. Can they cancel my life as well? What step do I take to reinstate my life? Or, unable, what steps should I take to confirm the cancelation? I consider myself lucky; may car insurance policy (thankfully through a more humane company) was terminated, my car was spared. Perhaps I am lucky that my life was not terminated in that letter. No, I am just canceled. I plan to eat dinner now, some string beans and a chicken breast. As a child, both foods were used to describe me. With my recent cancelation, will all derision end? Will I fall asleep tonight and finally experience the sleep of someone who was never really there?
The big meeting that stressed me out all weekend was postponed yesterday, so now it’ll be tomorrow morning. And suddenly, I’m none too stressed. I had breakfast today with Jim, and that always helps.
