On Second Thought

Crashing into a tree does not
seem like a peaceful resolution.

When They Ask

I just say you come when you can
and deem them blahblastedly irksome.

From One Who Did Both:

“Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.” –Benjamin Franklin

Dance till your hair’s wet…

…and know you’re a-l-i-v-e.

Ever feel aok…

…until someone tells you
you’re not?

Quotidian Peace

“Be regular and orderly in your life like a bourgeois, so that you may be violent and original in your work.” –Gustave Flaubert

Beyond the Blues

“The mean reds are horrible. Suddenly you’re afraid and you don’t know what you’re afraid of.” –Holly Golightly

Everyone needs a little help sometimes

Beneath the bleached-out flabby daze
and out-of-sync onstage mess
sits a steely sparkle set
to burst through the murk
when she lets it.

Something doesn’t feel…

…quite right.
With all due respect
for intentions.

Sharp…

…can illuminate
…clarify
…stab
without killing
but not
without searing.
