Funnyboner-killer

ramblings and rumblings from my brain-stomach — I don’t know if writing poetry Is a funny boner-killer But it sure feels that way When everything I write sounds heavy and ponderous devoid of playfulness Every word heavy as a barbell *** I don’t know how to write stories I just know how to go through my day …

writing for myself

and you, too, if you’re willing to put up with it — It’s too easy to work all the time Way too easy — it’s so available, everywhere I go there are reminders of work Things to grade, things to clean, things to fix But how can I change that? Focus on things you like What do you like about anything you’re…

The Waving Leaf

an improvised story There was this leaf once. She was on a tree. No, this is not the story of The Giving Tree. The leaf waved at everyone all day long but nobody noticed her waving. The wind blew and blew and she waved and waved hoping somebody would see…

Disclaimer: I’m trying to write fiction but the planet is yelling at me in the middle of the night to wake up and stop the destruction of Mother Earth I fell asleep last night thinking about global warming and then woke up from a bad dream about it, too. Awesome woohoooo yayuhhhhh! In the dream, I was looking at my phone and there were like a quadrillion text messages all saying the same thing: ‘RELOCATE RELOCATE RELOCATE RELOCATE.’

Now Me vs Old Me

a dialogue that is TOTALLY fictional — ‘Now’ me talking to ‘Old’ me: when and why did you stop reading books… like fiction? Old me: what are you talking about? I was always reading. What are YOU reading? Nothing but blogs or non-fictiony self-help crap, right? Now: no, that’s not true. I read all kinds of stuff…

Actually it wasn’t an ‘it.’ ‘It’ was a ‘she/they/it but to keep things simple for other paintbrushes and humans, she/they/it just went by ‘it.’ Occasionally ‘her.’ Sorry, no. That’s too confusing. Let’s just stick…

you know when you’re in da flow

a freestyle rap battle with my solo inner fomo — burn out flow trying to find inspiration i think i’m starting to find it it’s some kind of magic happens at sunset, sometimes sunrise happens when you’re not trying to contain it happens when you trust your stinky instincts happens when you go out on a limb happens when you…
