Poinsettia, a poem by Marigold
For Christmas cheer the sepals sing
Red carols veined in holly green,
Potted plant, just do your thing,
And hide dark corners rarely seen.
In Sunday’s colours primp and preen,
With hot-house glitz, be-ribboned bling,
And over manger, gently lean,
Poinsettia, just do your thing.
Happy Holidays every one.

Disclaimer: I don’t believe in sweater vests. Even though I am wearing one in these pictures, I still think they are stupid. It’s cold enough for a sweater but not for covering my arms? Or it’s warm enough for a t-shirt, but my boobs have a chill? I only bought this sweater vest because it was on sale at a vintage shop near Haight Ashbury and I thought it was cute and somehow temporarily forgot what a ridiculous item of clothing it is. All day I felt sort of cold and was also sweating and itchy.
Perhaps not my best decision ever. But this tall drink of water Heidi Aphrodite* whom I met while out having adventures with Tiffany-who-loves-karoake challenged me to fit under a bar stool and I was all, “Yeah, I can do that in about 4 seconds.” Which I did. But folks, I can’t advise you to do the same. Thank the Flying Spaghetti Monster there wasn’t gum or ahem somewhere on that chair.
*Note: Heidi Afrodite would be an amazing drag queen name.
Royalties please.
LOOK WHAT I FOUND!
I can fit in there and there and there and there and there.
THANK YOU and extra hugs to art director / photographer extraordinaire / trusty assistant Velda.

It didn’t last long.

Does my left eyebrow look weird like that in person?
**Thank you to my trusty assistants Kim & Kevin.**

The marimba is musical instrument in the percussion family. It consists of a set of wooden bars with resonators. The bars are struck with mallets to produce musical tones. The bars are arranged as those of a piano, with the accidentals raised vertically and overlapping the natural bars (similar to a piano) to aid the performer both visually and physically. This instrument is a type of xylophone, but with broader and lower tonal range and resonators.
Also, a marimba is delivered in a 500 lb. box.
Big thanks to my trusty assistant Kevin.

Along the misty coast line of northern California, magnificent redwood trees tower majestically, the eery silence and fresh scents tickling the imagination to recall earlier times when humankind was but a tiny speck in a lush landscape.
I can fit in a tree.
And on a tree.
And through a tree.
