The Birthday Plan
For "Sensational II"...Electric Boogaloo?
Note: Yeah, it's my birthday...
- K. D.

From the alarm's demand, I rise to Supertramp's Goodbye to a Stranger.
The screen light hits my eyes hard in the dark of this early start.
The cold smells raw and ready to make me step to the pace.
I taste the experience of my day ahead...
...the road feels and waits for the touch.

Chronic Ache in the Soul of a Single Parent
There is a chronic ache in the soul of a single parent. It lingers, feeling endless. This ache feels so difficult, especially when you look at other families. They seem so… whole. They seem so joyful and complete. There is a husband and a wife and children in a stroller. Thinking about your single state, you realize how awkward you feel, how out of place at various functions and gatherings. They are all happily together and you’re miserably alone. Disappointment with the current life circumstances just settles in to stay, or so it feels. How could these layers of disappointment be broken up anyhow?
