Committed

Or, in its full title, Committed: A Poem of a Heartier Nature. I make the cool concessions; Perched on the pretty little branch, I am sweetened by the sun, I am blissful, lazy, downright crazy – This is the time for work to be done. I give you up, I hunker down; I risk tripping […]

And, unlike other mundane jobs, it actually makes me want to do many things – like roller derby, feminist activism, writing […]

Here It Goes

I haven’t been able to write in a few days or so, and I think it’s really throwing me off. I guess I am going to just write a completely rough draft in less than 20 minutes.So, here it goes: The Crash CourseRING!! Here the parting shots,Of your distant dissonance, barely waking you up from […]

Talk

This is my -ish idea about Midsummer. I don’t know why I would write a poem… but hey!Also, Darryl the test-taking penguin, made a debut today – and hence his face is immortalized now forever. Forever. Either side? It will displease.These wheezing wedding words were thrown,Upon the ground where no man’s trail,Would seize upon this […]
