Hey, don't worry about the meter in this: I did not work on that in any strict sense; just went with what sounded right to my ear. And the rhyme is simply there to provide some semblance of form, though that idea of needing order (or a container) is thematic, I guess.
It's getting better and better, living here, as I relax and learn to trust the people I'm in community with. I'm having a blast caring for the animals and doing all the various outdoor tasks. Great sun tan, for sure.
Katt and I are not really speaking at the moment, but given how it's gone the last 5 years, that won't last any more than the times we're together last.
