Looking in the Rearview Mirror

For seven years I lived in a tiny apartment on what was a quiet street in a decent neighborhood. It was cheap, they welcomed cats, and I'd rented from the owners the first year I was here. There was a front yard with trees and flowers, I was happy.  A very old two story, light tan peeling paint on the stucco and wood trim. There's a non-locking entry door to a tiny mail "room" and then an entry door into the apartments. My apt was the first one as you came into the building. At first most of the tenants were responsible but as time went on and people would move out, who moved in were caricatures that could've been  found in Mad magazine.  Living in that building was quite an experience. There was a "lovely" couple from Ecuador who had just welcomed a baby; one worked as a guard, the other in construction.

To Sleep: Perchance to Dream

 28 years ago I sat in a small courtroom a couple of rows in front of a former student. Apparently his lifelong marriage contract was ending on the same day that mine was. That was a very strange feeling. Life hasn't been rainbows and unicorns, nor did I expect it to be. But it has been real. It has been on my terms. There were no longer people going through my things.  Or cluck-clucking over my children. All the knives were gone from my back. "To sleep: Perchance to dream...." There was nothing, and I mean nothing, as wonderful as laying my head down on that puffy pillow & closing my eyes that night, knowing that my life finally belonged to me. I'm sure that's what Shakespeare was referencing.
