Q what do you do when 
you’re in the cottage …
alone and @ home …
unable to do ... well, anything ...
 and it's only you & your peg legz?


your Mexican construction workers,


your Russian beat


your crypt-like neighborz?

A MAIL LLL LL art.
With your three Matrioshka dolls,


ex: this is FAIRFAX people,
 this is RUSSIA.
Don’t play with me –  don’t fuck around either -
I’ll get my kindred Russians,



i become Russian when the moon comes up
the NEW scorpion moon in mars,


 i hang w my Jewish 2nd-family upfront, 
 I chill w the Russians behind me...

We sing traditional folks songs,


and i tell bad jokes

говорящ пакостные пить, претендуя мы don' несоосность Moscow t,
 или снежок выпивая холодную водочку пока мы говорим в России никакая такая вещь как э : 
выпивая проблема

really it’s lovely;
and, then, sometimes i wonder: 
how did i leave it here? 
and for so long. 
and, then -
 i know why i'm injured.
after 4+ years in the cottage -
 how did i NOT know the tree next door 
has always been bearing FRUIT - well, it was -
and i didn't know it. ever.
 OBVIOUSLY i was a blind woman 
blind but never once crippled
nǣfreǣfre [never] [ever.];   
now it's the other way around.


it was always there
dropping ripe and ready
 flavorful fruit,
just outside the courtyard


always ready - always growing
always green. it only needed time
and patience to become
edible
to me, 
  
California avocados -
outside my doorway.

AVACADOS you can EAT, yall!

en français un avocat est aussi un avocat
 un problème potable; n'est pas un problème 
c'est la spécialité de maison d'cottage 
 rouge de vin ou blanc -
dames préférées; 
renards d'abord.
FOXES FIRST
