In Concert
To make every moment a work of art To see truth in each second of our day Live as if no time is left, embrace all Comprehend magic in the mundane Feel music as a pianist bobs and bows Rocks back and forth like Ray Charles Not blindness, because music is inside Dance’s soul in […]
At Last
Come, admit we’ve made our world absurd We but scurrying ants guarding our anthills Playing make-believe, as kings of our castles Not worthy to be jesters, only play the fools I will happily tell you that I’ve got your nose You have cut off your nose to spite your face My taunt is only used […]

Neck Deep in the Big Bloody
OR What It’s Not About (Warning: This piece runs over 3,700 words. If you do not feel you can read it all, I urge you to read as much as you can, plus the intro and conclusions.) I’m finding it difficult to wrap my head around the insanity I see on the news and in […]
