I live next door to the bacon

If you know me then you gotta be wetting yourslef with laughter that I am living next door to a law enforcement officer.
My first thought at seeing a police car in our shared driveway wasn't "gee that's great a policeman lives next door and parks his car in the garage next to mine. "
Now I'm down with it and moving on

Disconnected Loss

I feel disconnected
My media source has deserted me
And yet
I feel little pain
Just disconnection
Exaggerated by new environments
Without loved ones
With loved one joining the increasing cancer and diabetic statistics
I feel at risk
Of loss

Old home left
To be briefly liberated
Before being enjoined with sweeping curves
Though not soaring ceilings
Sun lizard will warm
And slowly slowly
My footprint on the earth will become more balanced
