Every time I stand up, a different body part hurts. This is like the worst f***ing game of roulette ever.

Things are looking up a bit in stormswept Roanoke. First, a break in the rainy weather allowed a sojurn today to Benny Marconi’s for pizza. Second, the mailman brought me my copy of Lothlorien Poetry Journal Volume 33: Vortex Voyagers.

It is a wonderful 237-page tome of outstanding work, and it is just the after-midnight reading that I need right now. (Insomnia strikes again.)

If you want to enjoy it too, you can order your copy right here. (And if you do happen to purchase a copy, I hope you peruse the three poems of mine there — “school shooter,” “This Windy Morning” and “The Rough Violet Stone.” These were published online by Lothlorien in February.)

We thought its front wheel sheared him right in half, but it turns out it was only a false dichotomy. He was fine, but we still had to appeal to authority to make him be more careful.
