The Solid Space
This space creates calm amidst chaos.
Saltine crackers and playing cards
Dot the floor like lovers.
Orange peels and pencil shards
Are not complete without bed covers.
Saturdays win with rain streaked windows
And crisp winds blow as cold
As the minds of widows.
Such feelings take hold.
The warmth of the hearth lies
‘Neath the area where I fall.
It is my cozy space for tries
I fail, I get back up standing more tall.
With all the confusion, nothing takes
My mental health.
This space is where nothing fakes
My mind is my great wealth.
To take the time to meditate
Is a rich and rewarding thing.
It’s like I can levitate
And make an entire house sing.

Chanda sent home money every two weeks. In a small village in India, she deposited money into the bank account of her aunt and uncle who sent her to live in America. The place seemed so remote, almost cut off from the rest of the country. There, a festival took place where participants hurled cow eliminations at each other. The muddy, mucky sense of it had been known for centuries. Locals tied it to an ancient god who they believed restored people’s health with the cow plops. During the festival, thick patties passed through the air and smushed into the bodies and faces of those rollicking around in the filth.

"It's 10 in Tuscon! We all know what that means... It's Time for Midnight Snacks with your man, Gerald Gee! Ready to spend the night together? Me too! I'm full of snacks and can't wait to regurgitate them all back into your hungry ears. Crack a brew! Pop some corn! Anything to get ready for one hell of a show where the talk maybe cheap but the words cut deep...
