thanks
it would take another book to thank all the people i'd like to thank!
Jay Kramer: who helped me after heart ops, and during GRS to open my eyes to the possibilities of myself, and everything
and to Tara Reddy: who gave me the chance to discover my self belief
life is short, and so are pixies....!
to Amy, who not only supplied the cover pic, but has given me loads of support over the years, with her wonderful gifts
To Steph, the brains behind Quiltbag circa 2019, and my first performance on stage, to her inspired open mic, to her sorting out this book of rhymes...

More Time
I’ve been saying goodbye to friends
In their PMs
Since it’s the end
Making amends if I ever insulted them
But I understand
Where they stand
If things ever got outta hand
Because some things can overwhelm
It’s just that at this juncture I wish I had more time…
I’ve been messaging thank you’s as well
Before the knell
Before that bell
Before the countdown tells us there’s no more time
We’ll lose this site
And out of sight
But not of mind if I may be right
Until the next ship comes along and then it will be fine… ...

the value of boredom
I'm so dead inside
looking back at long lost memories
wondering how I strayed so far
from days that were meaningful
Though history reminds me
that not everything
we lived through
meant something
I deleted 99% of his messages
because there's only so much
sarcastic small talk
I care to hold on to
and I don't get the flutter
of warm fuzzy nostalgia
when reading him back
And it's strange
that we messaged so often
when he meant so little to me

smoking with your ghost
I don't have a date and time
to pin your memory to
so I'll make one up
a different day every year
I'll have a joint for you
pretend the tears
are just smoke in my eyes
and not the rebreaking
of vital organs
that beat an erratic goodbye
whenever I think of you
I'm all out of safe places
and as much as these
visions of you hurt
I cling to the memory
of your transient safety
For just a moment
we were suspended
out of space
out of time
two wayward souls ...

Friends I want more of
The ones who will run around in the woods
and jump over stuff
with me
while deeply discussing
disturbing movies
(The Substance, for example)
neither scandalized by
nor eagerly pursuing
the gore,
with opinions driven by empathy –
curious rather than judgemental
about characters’ self-inflicted pain
I want friends who
aren’t afraid of being poisoned
by bad words
shadow selves
slippery slopes
Who will rage and break shit with me
then cry at the opening of Tarzan
Polish off...

Sunday Swan Song
It was the piano that finally made me cry.
I’ve been dispassionate
(to say the least)
about this closure,
knowing that eras end and life goes on –
impatient to rip off the bandage.
Perhaps even a little bitter
about all the years I tried to help
people
think
bigger
even though my faith never completely fit
inside their box.
I think I gave it my best.
I guess they did too –
nurturing me and my kids
through all kinds of storms,

Friend Crush
Why do you have to be so cool?
Like that guy
whose reputation arrived first
when my cool friend from New York
told me about her new crush.
He was instantly cool by association.
Unapproachable.
I was certain to say something stupid
reveal myself as a poseur
in the face of his intimidating
punk
silence.
But then we met,
and I got to know him through long chats
backstage at high school musical rehearsals
and he was so very
normal,
insecure, even – which made him...

Not All That
Once upon a time,
I thought the problem was that no one
could really
see
me.
That I had somehow erected
almighty, unscalable walls.
You came along
and flicked them aside
like dust.
I saw you, seeing me.
Intoxicated, I had to make sure.
So I stripped down, way beyond skin,
to my very marrow,
stinking and bloody.
Still, you looked, you saw, you consumed.
I daresay you even adored,
or so it seemed
and I adored you back.
I don’t know what diverted...

Games
One of my favorite pastimes is games
Board games, video games, card games
Almost anything you can think of
They are a perfect escape
From super easy to extremely complex
It's hard to find a game I do not enjoy
I love the adventure they take me on
And the endless laughter with friends and family
We get into so much shenanigans
And create many inside jokes
Some games I enjoy all by myself
With a cup of tea, a snack, and my heated blanket
Either way, games make the perfect vibe

when my heart is engaged
you're never temporary
you...are a part of me
& if one day you should depart
a piece of you will remain
your essence...like osmosis
inspiring & adding to my enirety
as you saturate
becoming an eternal part of me
& I'm grateful
for whatever time we are given
hold very dear these moments we share
embedding them into my foundation
strengthening my pillars
building with compassion
& connection
more solid...ever better
together... ...

Conscious
Collections of matter
-- atoms of stardust and dinosaur shit --
that for some obscure reason
(or no reason at all)
have the ability to experience
their own existence.
That's all we are, really.
Maybe this sentience
is imbued upon us
by some Ultimate Sentience
that just wants to
not
be
alone.
Or, maybe it's random physics.
Maybe it just IS.
Does it matter,
this immaterial insight?
Either way, we only get to operate
this meat suit
for a miniscule blink of...

My happy place
I know you don't love me anymore
It's okay
I just want you to know
My love for you will never fade
You make my soul happy
I know you always will
I would still die for you my love
For you I would still kill
I know that you don't love me
I've accepted it
I have
But just know that if you ever want me back
All you have to do is tell me
And I'll return to you in a heartbeat
I know that you don't love me
And I'm okay with that
But I love you more than anything or anyone I've ever had
So let...
