Something About Today

Something about the lingering sunshine, Apparition behind eternal grey, Revives lungs clutched in ash and filled with brine, And pounds the heart to see another day.

Something is so unutterably lonely About the American way. I saw it in the longing gaze of Daisy Faye. She cried to her lover, begging for hope That only he could find Seas of chocolate sorrow begged his aid. These seas of sadness languished in opulence Surpassing all imagining Tears inside a diamond box of... Continue Reading →

Face The RedWell, you know a problem has gotten bad when non-profit organizations are made in its honor....but this video is comforting, at least for me. There is something about art that levels the playing field. It reminds you that you are only human, suffering the same nightmares as everyone else, and somehow the monsters... Continue Reading →

Nightmares

That's a pain I'm not ready to write yet,It's the one that flashes when I close my eyesAnd threatens to keep me from sleep,The poison that ceases the pain.It is the one that lies behind the pressOf haunts behind my head and neckTaunting the air that treads upon and inAnd breathing out in every sigh...

Hangover

I didn't have alcohol for the hangover today, remember the Cry Fest yesterday? Yeah, that happened. Then I stayed up until three in the morning. Why, exactly? Because I can? And because I felt like it.....because I didn't want to go to sleep, I wanted the tranquilizer dart we all love most. TV Time. Hooray.... Continue Reading →

The Good Morning

It's one of those sunrises when nothing "productive" happens.One of those dew striped mornings of something more than beautiful.See I left my breath in the sparkling city of AthensWhen I left and pretended that life was never wonderful.The chorus of wise men with vampire teeth and zombies rags chantsThat no matter how long you work...
