STARTED HAVING ONE OF THOSE DAYS

But then found this poem and now I'm feeling ready to work again.

Homage to My Hips
by Lucille Clifton

these hips are big hips.
they need space to
move around in.
they don’t fit into little
petty places. these hips
are free hips.
they don’t like to be held back.
these hips have never been enslaved,
they go where they want to go
they do what they want to do.
these hips are mighty hips.
these hips are magic hips.
i have known them
to put a spell on a man and
spin him like a top

Montreal is having one of those schizophrenic days where it snows and rains at the same time. I have no desire to leave my house for ANYTHING today, though I know I'll go out in a few hours for some milk to put in my coffee.
