  • i get out of bed
    every morning
    i drink my coffee
    black

    i smile
    i fake it
    i hold myself up to the light

    and look around

    at the words
    at the motions
    at the faces

    i make

    as i try to find meaning
    in phrases
    that dump from my mouth

    like a truck
    dropping dirt
    into the earth

    giving back
    what's already been given
    taking in
    what hasn't been taken

    i get out of bed
    every morning
    i drink my coffee

    black.

  • when they took my hands
    i smiled

    when they asked for my feet
    i shrugged

    when they needed my arms
    i said okay

    when they went for my legs
    i gave them that too

    and when they came back

    for more parts
    to more things
    to more places

    without question
    i gave it all to them

    but when they took my heart
    when they tore it from my chest

    after i pleaded
    after i begged
    after i fell down
    and couldn't get back up

    that's when i gave in
    that's when i gave out
    that's

    when i was done.

  • Images of Chelsea Michigan on Thanksgiving 2009



    midnight in chelsea a song by jon bon jovi
    _____________________________________






    midnight
    just me and my beer

    sitting on the front porch
    watching the snow fall

    watching love
    fall from the sky

    is there anything better
    then the soulful flight
    of wet sorrow

    dropping down from heaven

    and leaving perfect kisses
    on your cheeks

    at midnight
    in chelsea.

  • i start drinking
    writing
    thinking

    and keep going

    i start telling myself
    all the things
    i don't want to know

    but already do

    i start drinking
    writing
    moving

    papers
    pens
    shifted gears

    blown numbers
    years of attrition

    the keys keep getting hit

    sometimes gently
    sometimes manically
    sometimes

    not at all

    missed completely
    much like my life
    much like my days

    where all things meet
    exchange phone numbers

    give out hugs
    give out meaning

    and promise to call
    but never do

    i start drinking
    writing
    lying

    living

    only to give up
    walk away
    and do nothing

    in through the out door
    out through the in door
    failed and alone

    predictable at best
    miserable at worst

    i start drinking
    writing
    thinking

    dying.

About Me

  • i was born in a small town outside of zimbabwee. i learned to knit at the tender of age of 7. After a short stint with the merchant marines and a brief but unfortunate event as a pig farmer i became a roady for the rolling stones. Now adays i watch over two misguided beagles and darn socks with my time away from being a consultant for the ethical treatment of fireflys.
