“He’d hoped to be remembered as the one/ who told his men to turn around”
There’s too much in my brain. So, here’s a lot of it: I think the thing I like most about Krab with a “k” is that it tastes like nothing. There are so many flavors out there that one could … Continue reading

“I was angry when I met you / I think I’m angry still”
I am a wreck. I’ve damaged both of my thumbs, and I only have two. I’m sleeping more, eating more; it’s clearly depression, the same that had me sleeping little and eating less a few months ago. Oh, you fickle … Continue reading

Here we are the precipice of a new year. 2018. It seems like something from a sci-fi novel, but these days the world seems more backwards and antiquated than ever. I, in turn, cling to the past tightly, myself. I’m … Continue reading
“Snow is falling / it’s a capital C”
I’m in New Jersey set to celebrate an early Christmas with the in-laws, and it’s a White Christmas, at that.
Once Upon a Time…
I’ve noticed recently that I’ll reference an old fairy tale and get looks of befuddlement from many around me. Apparently these old tales aren’t being spread as prolifically as they did in my day. So it’s up to me to … Continue reading

“Just what did you expect to see: you in a greener field? You in a bluer sea?”
I am entering one of my Major Depression states where I sort of retreat into myself. It’s not such a bad place to be, really. It’s familiar, and I know the carpets and drapes like they were the insides of … Continue reading
