Watcher at the Well - Self Defense Family

Unwell people believe in presence of an influencing machine

Chips in their heads or necks telling them how to behave

It’s not a sexy topic but it’s one my brain goes to often

Mental health and what it entails and fully means

When I worked on Skid Row I’d call my folks twice a day

Say, «thank you for the stable home and thanks for the place to stay»

I don’t pray but sometimes I find something worthy of praise

Nature, God, I’m grateful for the problems I’ve got

Their scope and scale and what they are and what they are not

I like to see for myself

I like to touch it without gloves

All things relative

But I prefer to defer to people who clearly have it worse

I prefer to defer

I was a janitor in a place where the really sick people hide

Where the furniture is too broad and heavy to be thrown and that’s by design

Gave me perspective or at least it lent it or at least forced me to reflect on

it

Here’s what I took away from my time inside or my time passing by on my way to

some other era of my life
