May Day ... m'aider? O'Keefe's Series 1, No. 12

Speaking to Georgia

I've stared at you.
I've stared through you.
I know there's more to daily life than desert sand dunes,
piles of folded sheets.
I see you in the grey-green shadows,
a brush of peach.
What relief are clouds or blowing papers, billowing heaps
of what?
The oils have no throat.
The canvas does not squeak.
What can I say that speaks of you?
I stare.
I stare
and still I have no clue.

ME:

No further news. The hand is improving after the swelling from the sting. Oh, the stings of life ...

It is May Day. Hangover Day in much of Sweden, Finland, Estonia and Northern Germany after the shenanigans of Walpurgis night (Valborg).

May Day. Like the word for help: mayday, which is corrupted from the French, m'aider. I need to practice breathing: breathe-in, breathe-out.

WATT'S GNUS:

How polluted are you? (No, not your blood alcohol level , your lungs )

Maybe I should move to Fargo? I've thought of Pittsburgh in the past and would still consider it. It ranked #1 in soot though. I grew up with soot. On certain days it was iffy putting the wash out on the line. But ... all that industry is gone now and the jobs and economy with it. (Just ask Fivesixer . LaLaLand is still #1 overall. Now the mix of pollution and traffic does not entice me ... so no Los Angeles for me. Wonder how polluted it is in El Diablo. Hot, I bet.
