I have this idea. This idea that we should abandon the way the family works currently in this country. That its time to maybe, just maybe, consider the fact that there are other ways.
What if at 12, 15, 18, we filled out questionnaires that helped place people in "families"... that is, living situations best suited for the person. Such as living in the city vs the country, among people your own age or a wide variety of ages, in a small apartment or 18 room house. The questions would have to be loaded; well thought out in Y or N form and reflective, in their answers, of many other deep rooted qualities.
The only way this could work of course would be to have the pool of people in this to collectively have some of the same fundamentals. These "candidates" as we can tentatively call them would have to share personality traits that would be necessary to weave a family unit that would be strong. Nurtures, caring people, honest, loving, ect. No axe wielding murders, no repeat offender crackheads, anyone outside of certain perimeters would unfortunately have to be banned. This may just be in order for the experimental phase, perhaps...
There is a way to develop this system, I am fairly confident under the right duration and team of people, so that if indeed you were meant to fall in line with those called family currently, that things would just present themselves that way in a natural manner. How much more strongly woven could our society be? How much more efficiently could we work? Escape from debt? Be happier? Allow those who are extremely driven and naturally intelligent to have all of the opportunities they so very much need to propel our nation to not only get out of debt but further head, benefiting everyone in the process?
By all means, this is simply an idea. Consider movies based off books, albums inspired from previous artists. I merely took the pigskin and lace, fashioned the ball, and now I want nothing more than to hand it off to someone else who can run both fast and far with it. |

"When I Dream"
You, stuck in silences,
robbed of progression and
denied apology
Where down in muddy hollows you feel
Closest to rest and somehow yourself
paid debt and paid respect
stumbled into red
chemical peel
found in between willows that weep or
pressed between sheets
tied up tongue, no compromises.
You, housed in heat and torn from
fleeting embraces,
without reason
Watching string paths of rain make their way
against glass,
running into one another without plan
meeting as strangers.
You, hidden under rocks unturned
waiting, animated
breathing an uneven pace, like news
poorly received
Swallowed whole, minnow in a bass. |

There are many ways to loose someone.
When somebody dies, there is a form of closure... thats it, thats the end.
but when they are still physically there, but things arent the same.... well
that's something else entirely.
gosh, it is pouring out there. |

went out last night to bull feeneys- had to get out of the house; they are an irish pub with an up and downstairs, have a 90s cover band who call themselves Hello Newman -
on the weekends, they are too crowded for me.
the mirrors in the bathroom are angled down to flatter the girls (not sure about the mens restroom as i havent seen it)
and when you feel pretty you are less likely to fight because you think your man has gotta be lookin at you, and, also, more likely to get another.
clever marketing scheme.
the bartender asks open or closed, i say Close, ask where he is in the children of his family. he looks both surprised and impressed.
Says "in the middle". |

I watched them take her away piece by piece when I should have stepped in. |
