About Me

OK, I'll admit it.
I'm an addict.
I mainline Poetry.
I know I'm weak,
but the temporary ecstasy is worth it.
I've even gone to Poets Anonymous meetings.
Just when I think I have left it behind,
I'll light up little lyrics of alliteration,
maybe lilt a limerick.
Next thing you know
I'm smoking a sonnet or sestina.
Its all down hill from there.
I end up all strung out on poems,
my mouth making metaphors,
hanging with my bad-boy Trouble.

my maker for a long talk, but I'm satisfied with the glimpses at the moment. ("Lucy, you got some splaining to do!")

Movies:

Maybe I should learn more languages. Those damn subtitles get tiring.

Television:

Nurse Ratchet, I'll have that prefrontal lobotomy now. Oh, Dr. Randle Patrick McMurphy already performed the operation. Thanks for the reminder Chief.

Books:

Aren't those the funny boxy things that open like an accordion with the weird squigglies in them, that I have shelf after shelf in categories called Poetry and Literature, that I can spend hours and hours leafing through in Used Thingy stores, that I always seem to have stuck to my hand, that I use to lullaby myself to sleep, that burn at 451 F (over my dead body), that fill my brain with tiny seeds that sprout into gardens and forests of ideas, that I create and will be here long after my bones have filled worms tummy's. Yeah, those little beauties!

Heroes:

Garrett Morris as the Ant Man on Saturday Night Live (psych!)
