      Love Letters

      Mar 7, 2022

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      What Are You Really Crying About?

      Jun 14, 2020

      — “I love to cry — as long as it’s not about my life.” It was a simple statement, a line I’ve said a thousand times before. But when your dad is a shrink — like mine — you never know where a conversation might take you.  A few months ago I was visiti

      Sep 1, 2021

      I’ve known Melissa Broder for almost a decade. I invited her to my first book party because I was a big admirer of her writing and I wanted to meet her. She was smart and funny and I could tell she wanted to know something about what any of us are do

      On Giving Up: Its Uses And Benefits In The Writing Life

      Jul 1, 2022

      It reminds me of a moment I used to have in college. I’d put off my term papers every single time till the last minute. So I’d be up at 3 or 4 in the morning working on some damn thesis totally confused, completely exhausted, and I’d have this glorio

      Exhaling

      Dec 7, 2021

      Around me are fifty or so men, in whose company I will sit and be silent for ten days. I eye them discreetly, wondering who among them is going through a crisis. Who, like me, has a family. Who’s single, who’s been dumped, who’s poor or unhappy. Who’

       Real Time & Sex

      Real Time and Sex are over-rated

      By-products of Ego, over-inflated.

      I don’t care what you ate,

      Especially when a meat-meal.

      Or when you last shit, for god’s sake,

      For I don’t like it when you’re that real.

      I frequently like time delays to focus on my art;

      Not spend most of my time talking about nothing

      Right now; that doesn’t bring any comfort to me,

      Nor does having sex & then bragging about parts.

       Sometimes Sappho

      I used to frequently amuse

      Myself, saying I was like the 10th Muse

      Always…with limited Y-Chromosomes around

      So as to not be purely hormone-bound.

      Yet, later I chose to be mostly around one with a Y

      Though another path might have been easier…

      Why?

      Well, because being with Xs only, for me, is so very

      Feasible.

      Though I wouldn’t have had all the dear contrasting

      Conceivables…

      That aid in my writing; my authoring mainly from plenty of differing viewpoints, seldom one.

      It’s through massive immersion in at first foreign

      Awareness.

      That’s caused me to grow at a rapid rate, and to report on both sides, as an Equalist, the

      Unfairness.

       Popular Culture

      A supposed Wise One

      Critiqued another’s love of

      A pop culture figure today.

      For in his superior-sounding

      Knowing of facts, not wisdom,

      He said that a particular icon

      In today’s time

      Was in reality from

      What he called mainstream staves

      From centuries ago, by gods,

      Then wasn’t that the majority of people’s

      Popular icon back then?

       Landbound

      Plastic bottles I always pick up along the way

      They are my faux seashells, wind whistling away

      Through them as I act out my own plays…

      Over the hazy asphalt roads, jungles, ceaselessly

      Sun-dazed and Sun-burnt each and every day.

      While the wished for waters roar in my ears,

      As I imagine oceans of salt water–

      No salty tears~~~

      I’m stuck in suburban mediocrity:

      Swimming in the dried up middle-class sea~~~

      Looking at other green lawns manicured to a tee;

      Yet, they have no recycling for pick-up like me;

      They love their stagnation, honing complacency.

      And I’m stuck in their drama, not wanting to be.

       Always an Indie Author at Heart

      Don’t expect me to follow your protocol

      Just to facilitate your way.

      Inherently, I’m an Indie Writer,

      Who follows only what I say.

      Perhaps you mistook me for

      A pedantic highbrow author

      And such, but I can assure you I’m not, for

      I prefer hardcore–not hairsplitting & fluff.

       Some of the Powers

      By Bastet, I believe that my greatest claim

      Is to understand the purr-fect cats of mine.

      There are Spirits, too, but only when asked for

      Not uninvited, with other animal-folk of fur.

      Plus, I gave permission in love success to be mine,

      But only because my Partner desired this as well;

      Forever we are entwined, no need for love spells!

      However, I only advise those I feel like helping;

      Emotional Vamps, all demanding, are sent hiking

      Past me, for I don’t fuel their futile dead fires;

      They should seek their own ways out of the mires.

      To those who are despairing though,

      I try to support & ease their load.

      Gladly sharing treasures of knowledge with them

      Always brings prosperity and shiny gold ends…

      Perfectly punctuated with all the lovely gems***
