It has been a while, mostly because I am busy with life, but also because I m pretty sure that AI now eats my blog and that business can just fuck right off so anyway Today, I am thinking about chronic illness and pain. I m sitting in the parking lot of work, waiting to go in, and Continue reading Loose Ligaments
As a long time reader may remember, back in March of 2023 I fought down my anxiety demon and I went to a cafe for an open mic poetry reading. At that time in my life, (and mind you, I only know this looking back on it,) I was living in a cocoon of anxiety. Continue reading New Adventures in Poetry
I have not written in a long time. Words are hard to come by these days. I did manage a poem last week, and I am here right now, so perhaps this is progress? Anyway How many poets have written about the moon? On April Fools Day I read an article telling me there was Continue reading The Woman in the Moon
I haven t written in a very long time. I ve had no urge. I ve had a bit of a creative block, and only managed to eek out a few lines of poetry here and there since Christmas.

If you are a constant reader, then you will notice I did not post on election day this year. I typically do. You would know, from the seven elections I have covered in the time span of having this blog, that I love election day! It is my favorite holiday. However, each election carries with Continue reading The Morning After
The other day, I saw a tiktok suggesting that one take their Bible every morning, open to a random page, point to a random verse, and carry that verse with them throughout the day as a sort of message from God. I do pretty much this exact thing every day, except I don t use the Continue reading Jesus is my Homeboy
I ve been waiting for a topic to come to me for a week. There is nothing. My world of poetry is even worse off. So here s a short blog about fishing. Mark and I loved fishing. His best memory with his stepfather was going fishing, and while he was no master fisherman, he taught me Continue reading Fishing, Again
