February 11, 2017
He had given an earTo any harebrained idea- Laborious facial ticks weighing Gold mines, health care products And safe combinations. An old sea dog never Got to sea, but he might have If he ever wanted to And he’ll tell you in a second That he didn’t. Never mean but inflexible, Horny- like he might … More On the Possibility of Being Arrested in Provincetown (poem)

The Intersection of the Intellectual and Emotional
February 5, 2017
It’s all about emotional honesty. It is the one thing that I have that is truly unique. There is a need to create something that comes from the heart and soul through the filter of the intellectual. It is where a lifetime adds up. Something of the times, of the world through an … More The Intersection of the Intellectual and Emotional

A Plane Crashed Here (poem)
February 1, 2017
A heavy, humid air Settles on the city today, Distant buildings are erased From the top down like An unfinished drawing. An airplane crashed within fog Of this city, and birds flew As if they could do no other- Each’s fall unfathomable To each. I pause, and hold my breath For twenty-nine seconds, a lifetime, … More A Plane Crashed Here (poem)

Awakening Somewhere (poem)
January 21, 2017
A vacant comber, Beach gypsy, shrilly-shally Along then out of sight As the heat of the sunrise Grows flirting. The ocean springs up And rolls out In continuous eruption As to take her back, and Isolates the rest With the meanness Of a dream. Garland of the sea’s refuse Lace of foam, she continues The … More Awakening Somewhere (poem)

A Fiction
January 20, 2017
The man stands, staggered, disoriented, beaten but still standing. Punch drunk. Mickey Mouse ears, cartoon bullets, bird masks, empty voice bubbles, the Everyman, his voice not heard. He is surrounded by all the detritus of the world. He looks out over the landscape and is immersed in a sea of fences, … More A Fiction
