I had a dream this afternoon. I was in a log cabin in the woods, about to sit down and eat a fried fish dinner (with tartar sauce) when Bob Dylan and Tom Waits came in through the front door.  Th...

living blitzkrieg

It's a delerious late night with the solid intentions of an early morning. Even without sleep, there aren't enough hours in the day to live life. I should be doing other things.  I shouldn't even...

go ahead and know better

Some days the poetry is sad and ugly and you know why. Some days I am an overgrown child on a stage. Some days I break my leg and eat catering while reading get well cards. Those days are better. Out ...

You are what you drink. But what does that mean?

a slightly less impressive text message poem

This is the outgo.  The outbox.  The things I said in context that are now out of context.  Forgive me for my texting sins. I had a dream that the hair on your head grew back. The cur...
