flow writing #130: be a verb

pooping and barking – things that dogs and people do.

bark bark. poop poop.

Imagine if humans pooped in the woods as often as dogs did. squatting in lush rainforests, fertilizing ferns with our feces. I guess it would only be fertile if our feces was healthy and pure and filled with nutrients like nitrogen and whatever comes from coffee grounds and banana peels (oh ya – potassium), and egg shells… something alkaline.

My poops might be neutral – a mix of cheesy toast, broccoli, eggs and coffee.

On a wild day, toss in some champagne and a couple of chocolates.

Yesterday must have been a wild day – a classic Wednesday – popping champagne while sitting on my couch and applying for jobs.

I had a slight buzz going as we drove down to Shawnigan Lake for our kid’s lacrosse game.

I was aware of this though and my responsible adult voice reminded me not to get too caught up in the game – definitely don’t voice any comments about the refs – and only scream positivities and upliftatories for the team.

PS – they won! First game of the season – my kid wore the ‘A’ for assistant captain and we all had a merry ol’ time.

I don’t usually fit in with the hockey mom and lacrosse mom types – but this team is different – really inclusive – no bullshit and fun.

The kids had a tailgate party outside the hotel in Victoria with invites extended to all the parents – it was a jolly ol’ time.

Oh dear – this is what happens when my energy comes back – I said, “Jolly ol'”…
