It was about a year ago… A beautiful stranger on an oddly named dating site reached out to me and asked about my Thanksgiving. I replied that Thanksgiving is: “The long drawn out smell of turkey, a delicious foreplay in anticipation of a pedestrian protein” – or something to that effect. From that, an intrigue …

Newton’s Arc
Exploring the hearts hollow costs when a part hides. Newton's First Law of Motion: “A body at rest will remain at rest unless an outside force acts on it, and a body in motion… will remain in motion… unless acted upon by an outside force”. Newton’s first law, in part, states: “that a body in …
‘Meating’ On-line
One online Dating Service that I am on let me know that 1,637 people were active at 4 AM looking for me (perhaps) but if not actually for me… but they were all looking indeed. We swipe left or right as if there were political poles in operation. We Conserve those we may desire (or …
Alchemy of the Heart
The Alchemy of Affections Alchemy: "A seemingly magical process of transformation, creation or combination. Active since ancient times… Alchemists tried to transform base metals into gold. Alchemy is a Philosophy, or a way of thinking / seeing the world around us." Perhaps we are all, in our own very personal ways, searching for gold. Neil …
Bored Games
I seemed to have hit a literary bump. I really want to write something fresh, but I feel all "Bollixed up". In a desire to spur my craving for prose I’ve turned to gimmickry. First, I thought I would just Alphabetize my Creative Demise: A Brutally Contrived Dialectic Endeavor Frantically Geared, Hopefully, Into Just Keeping …
Myself

I cannot fathom the level to which it may resonate at the heart of a woman but as a man it is, generally, barely denim deep. Men are …
Medieval
He was certain he knew ‘better’ when he saw it – and he saw it in the mirror. He saw it in those ‘just like him’. And with that thought - the bridge drew faintly up from the road. Intolerance was his second nature. Learned in biased company. Feeding him now at his roots. The …
Derrick
The lines, which led to cracks, fell into fissures A featured tin foil ball of wrinkled face It sat atop a feeble derrick body Knee deep in sea and rusting into space Decrepit, almost silent, the mottled hulk had stood Infecting the sky in a collage of carbonizing cancer He had stood a lifetime. …
Anglo-Cristo (a poem with teeth)
Such a White Man Blue eyed, trimmed beard, robes on A small lamb in his arms He’s knocking at a door His face benign, omniscient understanding The look both Mormon boys showed hours before When their staunch white shirts Left shadows at my door Though I clench my teeth still tighter Yet, that picture …
Language Troubles (dissecting of speech)
I am having a little trouble with language. Specifically, the term “Bi-weekly”. You see it means BOTH twice a week and every two weeks. So, when my hot new girlfriend says that we should make love bi-weekly – I’m flummoxed. Now granted, we are just getting to know more and more about each other (and …
