Gulliver’s Tailgater: December 26, 2018 – “After my adventure with the unicyclist, now the lights in my rear-view mirror are getting brighter and filling my vision with white light. The car behind is too close and is going to rear-end me! I prepare to bump from car to car, like a silver ball in a pinball machine.”
Is That You Macduff?: December, 2019 – “Your creaky steps creep closer to my chamber door / past my books of solitude / clothed in their dusty spines.”
Short Stories
A Word of Encouragement: April, 2026 – “It’s a beautiful June day, and there is no excuse not to get off my butt, walk downtown, and get my Library Card. I’ve already been in my new town of Paris, Ontario, for six weeks…my fifth move in six years. It’s been stressful, but this move is different. I’m not starting a new job…I’m retired! There were times I didn’t think I’d make it, but here I am.”
Can I Help You?: 1986 – “There was a knock on my door. / “Hello, can I help you?” I inquired of the short man with big ears and bad breath. / “I really don’t appreciate what you’re doing to me?” / After this very curious statement, the man walked away and left me pondering what had caused him to be so upset.”
Tuning with Les Rallizes Denudes: August 15, 2009 – “Imagine…after listening to Les Rallizes Denudes: “Double Heads”…a band comes on the stage…ready to RAWK!!! the guitarist strums a chord, then another…the drummer smashes a cymbal…the bass player hits a note…and another…there is no vocalist…they are tuning.”
Prose
Gratitude – January 27, 2017 – “I feel: …gratitude for having the most wonderful foster daughter, who shines her light through my darkness and has been my most influential and profound teacher.”.
Injuries of a Hated Uncle – September 3, 2021 – “…tilting sideways, feet leaving the ground as head approaches…* thunk! *…the wooden partition. The brain dancing like Jell-O after ingesting Bill Cosby drugs.”
