A brief update on the Social Security situation:  on March 15th a decision was reached, oddly enough in my favor.  On the 17th the local Social Security office called me to set up an interview for the payment approval (we won't go into that now, the whole thing is fucking well bizarre and complicated)...happened to be the same day I found out about the decision.  That Thursday I had a small advance payment.  April 1st saw a partial payment.  What happens now?  I would say within 20 days there will be about $20k sitting in a bank account, which is very little money, but enough to move. However, there is a moral to this story.   Social Security benefits are smaller than VA benefits.  Social Security gave me approval based on PTSD.  The PTSD largely stems from military service (and much of my physical condition stems from VA care, for that matter).

in memory of the muse that remembered veiled dancer remains nameless in memory, though i can recall her musk and for that matter the taste (later) between her thighs... odd: it was as if she just momentarily appeared and then vanished to never-was: but then both in youth and age love (even for oneself) is maybe just that: never-was ------ :for the record: I've never seen a veiled dancer in real life and I do love people.  So if there's a gentle reader peering over my shoulder--I'd been musing over a writer--Delany--who's forsworn, apparently, fictional writing--as has (for sure, he says) Stableford.  I regard both as great losses.  And the poem's not merely fictive, as should now be apparent. Dedicated to Samuel Delany and Brian Stableford (duh) Glenn 9:57:07 AM    comment []
