ALIEN I can’t break into circles an alien among others and I never did find an opened door that didn’t close before I could step in. I have become a covenant of one among many a shadow on the wall an afflicted creature of God’s making forced to cling to those deep and silent spaces where Life could... Sign in to see full entry.

More than most likely I will not be here next Christmas: I will either have passed [a blessing ] or I will physically and or mentally be non functional: you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure that one out. Just GOOGLE the five stages of Parkinson’s. I will write until I can’t write... Sign in to see full entry.

Celluloid Recollections My memories play scenes in sixteen millimeter flashes of sepia, colors faded by Time, and soulless shadows lost in the years I no longer recognize. a wonder to see a lifetime fade away in celluloid in front of your eyes.

VALIDATION Is there any sense to precious hours wasted in useless endeavor. my words go astray in some metaphor in rime and I become invisible again: a replay of childhood isolation. what good does it do to hunger for validation where circles cannot be broken and your art falls to mediocre.

EARTHBOUND Once we begin we have to see it through from first breath to last our choices are few to none.
