About Me

It keeps feeling like I am throwing out all the rules. But then who made up these rules? Some Steve who has disappeared, whose shell has been cracked, whose yolk has been scrambled. This is Steve on life. I want the T-shirt.Don't know where the future leads, feeling amazingly peaceful about the unknown. Love my life, friends, tomorrow, and yesterday. People thrill me, and I love linkages for minutes or years, as long as they are meaningful.i'm stable, impulsive, loving of the unique, desperate for authenticity. People embrace the status quo too readily. It slays me to settle.I cannot imagine somewhere or someone I'd rather be.

A Morning Rain

Ache, but for what? A broom for the cobwebs, something to schedule around or maybe a reason to compromise. Long-winded conversations, internal investigations uncover multiple clues, but forensic exami...

Parodied Rolls

Complicit in self denial. Asking, foreign, might release some hope of purpose understood, regained, attained. Placed haphazardly or by design, these obstacles cannot help but amount to plann...

The Bored Meeting

Clockwise. Counterclockwise. Turn to fit (often needlessly.) Skills once learned serve or cause to serve well, years' sentences at a time. Shock to the system, a dislocated humor, bilious waves o...

a break in the murk

Learning freedom, and the weeks pass in a mood pendulum -- hope to resignation to fear to embrace. Sloughing takes its own sweet time. From its family of "pickers," strive to unleash patien...

A moment I felt it. Something, a structure, foreign in its unfamiliarity. A shadow of what i say I want. Ask, I is it an influence? societal imposition, a broken reflection of a world of w...

At 2 PM he hadn’t showered

My foundling, he awaits another chapter. Letters to words to sentences. Time it must outlast even as released and reduced to basics. Fluorescent overhead, metal plate a racket against the bars, defin...

the test for today

Just in time for a day's schizophrenia, I begin sprouting a chin-Vesuvius. Tectonic stress of being another forces this manifestation to the surface. It matches the gnaw in my stomach, a ringing ...

smoke break

I came close to finding you twice today. Is it to find when I am utterly certain where I should look? Unexplained, the urge when nothing could be more unlikely. It may be that you focus my need to be...
