Poetry Friday (belated)

APPEAL TO THE GRAMMARIANS

We, the naturally hopeful, Need a simple sign For the myriad ways we’re capsized. We who love precise language Need a finer way to convey Disappointment and perplexity. For speechlessness and all its inflections, For up-ended expectations, For every time we’re ambushed By trivial or stupefying irony, For pure incredulity, we [...]

Thanksgiving …

Once again, it’s that time of year … time to sit back and reflect on all that I am thankful for.

Work continues to chug along. The bet that I made that our stock would rebound last fall has paid off nicely … I lowered my average cost significantly, and my portfolio is above water [...]

Quote of the Day

Big town’s got its losers Small town’s got its vices A handful of friends One needs a match, one needs some ice Call-waiting phone in another time zone How do you say I miss you to An answering machine? How do say good night to An answering machine?

  — The Replacements, “Answering Machine”

Poetry Friday

REMEMBER, BODY …  

Body, remember not only how much you were loved, not only the beds where you lay, but also those desires for you, shining clearly in eyes and trembling in a voice—and some chance obstacle thwarted them. Now when everything is the past, it almost looks as if you gave yourself to [...]

NOVEMBER NIGHT

Listen. . . With faint dry sound, Like steps of passing ghosts, The leaves, frost-crisp’d, break from the trees And fall.

  — Adelaide Crapsey

IT IS THE TIME OF RAIN AND SNOW

It is the time of rain and snow I spend sleepless nights And watch the frost Frail as your love [...]

SAGE FRANCIS – GOT UP THIS MORNING

It’s not that what we’re doing is wrong But let’s try to keep this a secret Between me, you, and the song A menage a trois that sings to me Sinfully When god plays along

     What you want with a woman who won’t do what you [...]

A quick summary to get caught up

Wow, have I been lax on posting anything original lately. As often happens, life has taken a few unexpected turns and I just haven’t really gotten around to it.

For the past several months, I was dating a really incredible woman. Unfortunately, it was a long-distance relationship and the 800 miles of separation became too [...]
