I come to you to help me forget

The brutal and barren world that surrounds me.

I come to you to help me remember

The parts of myself that I have buried and cannot uncover on my own.

Like a desert, my body feels scorched and desolate;

Tightly-strung sinews stretch between sun-bleached bones.

Parched and thirsty,

I want to dig a deep well in this arid land.

I am lost and I am seeking the oasis:

This internal haven that I know is here, but cannot find.

I want to be veiled in your paisley sun-warmed sheets,

Anointed with a caravan of aromatic oils:

cloves, eucalyptus, and lavender.

As you begin to stroke and knead your fingers

over my ravaged terrain,

A flood of memory rises from the reservoir beneath:

A hidden wellspring flows

to slake and refresh my thirsty soul.

Your hands lay out a banquet of many delectable flavors,

My body eagerly feasts at your table.

I breathe deep and then deeper,

The tides of my breath rise and fall

like the wind over hot sand.

You are Scheherazade, your fingers spin mesmerizing tales.

I sway beneath your palms and drift

into foreign and forgotten places.

My thoughts skip like a stone,

Skimming the watery edge of the vast sea of my unconscious mind.

My body forgets and remembers, and I sigh with pleasure.

In this verdant sanctuary

Pain, like a mirage, has dissolved.

I shed my dry and armored skin like a snake,

I forget the brutalities of the world, and

I remember the peace and solace that are always within.

    • Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist
    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
