Who are the Patriots Now?
spittle flied freely,
yet hitting me
as if guided
by my antagonist’s
providence
a hallowed rustle
a fussing-
a profuse liturgy,
or elegy as it were,
for a death was imminent
and carried forward
like a chaotic infantry
scattered forth
by a twisted general
God could not bend;
our creator
was black and white,
how then came our world
to vibrancy?

away
I left it like a box,
Empty light reflecting
Echoing hulk
Which had had life
My life
I’d turn down the heat
Of someone else’s dime
I checked the locks
Though they weren’t mine
I brought up the trash can
Safe in the garage
Waved to a neighbor
Who never looked up
Painted a hall of
Tiny finger smudges
Danced in my mind
Step after step
And wondered quietly

I have been remiss in writing, but so much has happened during these few years since my last post. I live in DC at the moment, but soon will be living in the Bay area of California again. It’s so nice to be going back to Cali… Yet, I have to say that I have really been enjoying VA and DC. It snows here, and the trees are so beautiful.

To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your ( Read more... ) -

I have been thinking a lot lately of the concept of opposites. If you are an old Star Trek fan you may remember a few episodes where Kirk or Spock changed places with their parallel universe “evil opposites”? The point of these shows is that Kirk’s opposite comes into our universe, and just as good as Kirk is- this guy is bad. Therefore he's Kirks ( Read more... ) -
Ding castings done!
Yesterday turned out to be a very strange day for me. I was working at the Magic Kingdom, and everything went ok until it was quitting time. As I walked out to the parking lot I noticed a scene with a family of what I very sadly have to stereotype as “Hillbilly’s” All obesely overweight (look who’s writing?) and teetering between shabby and ( Read more... ) -

I spent Sunday looking through old pictures with my Father. My Stepmother was a photographer in her free time so there are boxes and boxes of photos to go through. It's not often I visit the past in such clear color. It was very hard on my Father. It was hard on me too. I am happy my wife was able to come with me, I needed her support. I guess I ( Read more... ) -

This last weekend my wife and I went with Dagger and his wife to see “Doubt” at the Pasadena Playhouse. What a great show! Its funny how many things happen in life and the different ways we all deal with them. The play took place in the background of a Catholic Church School. The lead character was an older Nun and also Principle of the school. She ( Read more... )
