the firsts of the spring thaw

ah yes, two months of blogging silence are broken today. Agent99 has been going through a few life changes that have been demanding her attention, most noteably a shift of personnel in her household. the Mole and i are taking time apart and it's been a strange thing to live alone again after three years. a strange thing to be without my man, but something that will help everyone in the end. last week i began doing things at the apartment completely on my own. small things that Mole once did, but now i do, like taking out the trash or putting the rent check in the mailbox our landlord collects from. the chilly air is really leaving chicago and i'm starting a new chapter. the thaw has arrived.

believe i'll utilize my blogging forum more often again. appreciate all of you who kept checking in to see if i'd ever speak again. i predict a summer of sassy verbage from yours truly.

for now, i offer you verbage i love from mr. kurt elling, jazz singah extraordinairre. the song is entitled "esperanto".

how did smoke learn how to fly?
where do birds go off to die?
why does coal sleep in darkness?
do dreams live in apartments?

is a number forever?
where's the soul of the water?
how old is old november?
no one here can remember.

if i die, where does time go?
do the bees still vertigo?
to get love is their potion,
or is love the only motion?
