Dipping a Toe: It’s Messy
Am I ready For “Trump” And “Bannon” and “The Alt Right”? Am I ready for the hate they inspire? The problem is not them. The problem is the hate. And I don’t think I’m ready. The strength you need to take in hate and convert it to love is beyond me. I would much rather […]

Birds on a Wire
My ideas, again, flown Like birds on a wire. They sit for a moment Usually until I disturb them with a look And then, alas…they alight One great cloud of inseparable beauty That I can never touch or examine But only relish that I was there for the alighting And disappearance. And that I am […]

Stopping by the Internet on a Snowy Night.
I don’t believe in anything Except the confusion, And, sometimes…perception. Ranting at or because of Facebook is like…I can’t even say. But it has been said.

Rooting for Trump
I found myself wanting him to win. Despite the fact that there’s a good chance he is sociopath, I want him to win. It feels like redemption to me, like throwing out the kitchen sink the baby the nose. It’s like it’s our only hope. Like antibiotics or Chemo The nuclear option because the cancer […]
