    2020-11-10 Freezing Rain, Memory, and Poetry

    A freezing rain greets me as I accompany the trash carts to the end of the driveway. It tears my attention away from what I don’t remember. It feels good to feel the rain on my skin and how it forces me to move faster, look forward to being back inside, strip down to dry.…

    2020-10-30 All Hallows Eve Eve

    This morning I woke up at 4:45 AM from a dream about my recent ex-employer. The business had become a smashing success and they had just opened their brand new building which was a really neat New-tech high-rise situated among a neighborhood of 1 story buildings. A Sim city anomaly. There were appearances from two…

    2020-10-25 Target Acquired

    Today.. instead of walking this morning or getting my GLR submissions distributed I spent like 5 hours on my own poetry submissions. Research, editing, writing cover letters, etc. I even created a new chapbook to submit to a contest. When they say writing is hard work, I’m pretty sure all of this has a lot…

    2020-10-21 Tricky Pickles and Tip Toes Teetering in the Middle

    I’m teetering on tip-toes between taking another day “off” like yesterday when I said “fuck it” to the universe and crawled inside myself and embracing today as a bedazzled opportunity to get a lot done. I’m 9 submissions away from my goal for October. And technically I’ve got more poems out in the wild than…

    2020-10-19 Quick and Squeaky

    It’s a new day and a new week. Another opportunity to get it all done. Despite waking up with a pain in my neck at 5:10am, I’m in pretty good spirits. In large part thanks to the fact that I no longer have to figure out how to fit work in with all the other…

    2020-10-18 It’s Not the Poem’s Fault

    It’s Sunday and my day is starting early. I woke before 6am and tried to go back to sleep but its futile. It’s almost 7 now so it’s not like I didn’t try to resist getting up. Hopefully Jim can get some extra rest with the absence of my tossing and turning. Hopefully he’ll text…

    2020-10-13 Pepperoni Pizza = Strange Dreams 🍕➡️😱

    It’s been previously verified that if I eat pepperoni pizza too close to bed time, strange dreams will disturb my sleep. Last night was no exception. Though I would hardly call the dreams strange or disturbing, it was certainly odd for so many men from my past to pay me a visit in the same…

    2020-10-06 Life as a Kitten Mama

    This morning I had to take Gustav to the vet for shots and so I’m getting a strange late start to my day. These days it’s curbside appointments only. You pull up and call when you arrive and they check you in and come out to the car to get your pet. Then you wait…
