Poetry,
Uncategorized It could be in
the name…orderly…
tidy beds no
decorative pillows
drapes blinds ties
that could bind.
Every day the trays
come
at the same time.
Droning television mutes
the hum of voices real
and imagined.
There is no one
to care for but myself
so I do -
make bedbrush teethwash hair
every day, even.
What else is there
to do?
Outside
the mind must hold
tenuously
grip the edge hold up the
buttress
of Important Things.
Inside
we’re
Free.

Uncategorized I was looking for something specific, something not related to food at all, but as so often happens around this vast pseudo-informational wasteland, I ended up with this.
People who are good at making up funny song lyrics should always make videos, too. Hint, hint.

I just like it. It does something to me.
And the next song I just can’t get anywhere. So here’s a link. It’s worth a listen.
Am I too old for slam dancing? It makes me want to ride around blasting it with my feet out the window drinking a Milwaukee’s Best. Maybe I’m just too easy [...]

I’ve heard it said that it takes a village to raise a child. This idea was popularized by Hillary Clinton when she named her world domination plan book after the idea, ostensibly an African proverb. While there is some argument about the origin of the phrase, it is in close keeping with many cultural ideas [...]

Uncategorized Fundamental Jelly and Alan allowed me to have a little break from captivity in order to visit my children and care for my vegetable garden. They supervised me very closely, but I was able to snap some photos of my kiddos playing “Libertarian Think Tank” and digging up worms. I also scored some mulberries from [...]

Uncategorized Hey, look – I’m famous! Or at least, popular. Or maybe just interesting in a “how unfortunate” kind of way.
But my work space was featured on my friend Fundamental Jelly’s blog, complete with fun explanations, amusing insults, and general frivolity. Go on over and join the melee.

Uncategorized I’m trying on some new themes for size. I really like the old one, but I will be relocating to a new host soon and have to sort of rethink everything.
Feedback welcome, and feel free to veer off topic.
*Please Note* My poems are randomly disappearing in the renovations. They’re here somewhere, ostensibly under “Creative Writing.” [...]
