Pre-Web Years: Social Media
My childhood social media
could be measured in inches
all colored, rectangular magazines
some as big as 10 1/2" x 14"
and as small as 5 ½” x 7 ½”
delivered every month
by hardy, blue uniformed postal carriers
One favorite,
“Sunset” was in our home a staple
a pretty thick, glossy depiction
of how the best American westerners live
perhaps in a replica,
upscale Hopi Pueblo style compound
appropriately located in the Painted Desert
cacti, tumbleweeds. Lizards on the ground
kaleidoscopic...

Everyday
Everyday, it's wake up, walk, make breakfast, be at the whim of my drunk sister's every command (although I have to block her number because I can't fulfill all of them), talk to friends throughout the day, clean if my chronic fatigue allows for it, write or read if my brain isn't too fogged, etc.
I can't get myself to do much. I'm too drained from dealing with toxic family members. I'm lucky when I can get away from them, but other times, I'm not too lucky.
I'm still not sure of how I haven't fainted yet. Definitely don't have the Instagram worthy lifestyle although I'm...

Histamine
Histamine whispers flood the night.
Dreams swell with crimson tides.
A storm ignites beneath the skin.
Unrest cradles the soul within.
Shadows move in jagged waves.
Where fevered echoes dig their graves.
Fractured thoughts, a poisoned stream.
Drowning deep in histamine dreams.
The pulse quickens, the air grows thin.
A chaos blooms where calm had been.
Nightmares twist, a sickly gleam.
Histamine dreams, the silent scream.
Dreams swell with crimson tides.
A storm ignites beneath the skin.
Unrest cradles the soul within.
Shadows move in jagged waves.
Where fevered echoes dig their graves.
Fractured thoughts, a poisoned stream.
Drowning deep in histamine dreams.
The pulse quickens, the air grows thin.
A chaos blooms where calm had been.
Nightmares twist, a sickly gleam.
Histamine dreams, the silent scream.

reading in the pub
saw you sitting alone here
with a book and a pint
and I thought you might need a friend
would know better
than to interrupt ..

How Poetry ate my day
It started with just a few breadcrumbs
Tasty morsels that led me tentatively out the door
just a little farther….
looking back nervously at my Task List
Just one more taste
and then I’ll go back
He pulled up all smiles and sweetness
saying here’s a Special Something I just know you’ll like...
But – All the Things – what about the Things I’m supposed to do?
I’ll serve you just what you need to get started, he said
I’ll have you back in a jiffy, he said
and with a glance over my shoulder at Responsibility
I said Ok, just for a...

Was It A Real Person Or An AI Robot?
Someone sent me a private message a few days ago.
The sender’s profile picture is a photo of a Caucasian woman.
It seems that whoever it was did not examine my profile.
I did not read the message, but I replied to the sender.
And I drew the sender’s attention to the note on my profile.
It reads as follows; do not to send me any private messages.
I came here to read and to publish my compositions,
Not to engage in controversies and pointless conversations.
I will delete all private messages without reading them.
The person obviously...

for the shock
the old bloke in the pub says,
what can I get you?
I’m thinking perhaps a notebook and a pen
he suggests a scotch
oh, yes, damn it, go on, then ..

try reading a book
to see everything in monetary terms
when you’re rich and at no risk of
starving seems a little bit stupid, maybe
you should just take another look ..

From My Library to Yours
First Things First, I've been Facing Autism for many years,
But I’ve also been Failing Forward progressively as well,
I’m a Master of the Game lately I’ve been Feeling Good,
It’s been like The Metamorphoses for me as far as I can tell.
It’s like trying to Burn Brightly Without Burning Out,
I have to work to remain optimistic in the Road Ahead,
Looking for that Life Balance because The Sky’s the Limit,
Because evidently When I Stop Talking, You’ll Know I’m Dead.
But in the meantime I’m searching for that Tipping Point,
I’m...

childhood
read for hours, nothing that was on the
school curriculum, mind, I was a
pretty odd kid who wouldn’t go to school but
to the public library instead
