“My first thought was, he lied in every word …”

“My first thought was, he lied in every word,
“That hoary cripple, with malicious eye
“Askance to watch the workings of his lie
“On mine, and mouth scarce able to afford
“Suppression of the glee, that pursed and scored
“Its edge, at one more victim gained thereby.”

—  From Robert Browning’s “Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came”

Support your local writer-nerd!!  Burritos don’t grow on TREES, people!  If they DID, then 7-11 couldn’t profit from their sale!!  (That’s economics.)  Feed me!!

Seriously, though, if you feel so inclined, please remember that my novel and some of my stories and poetry can be purchased in hard copy from their publishers.  The link via this site is right here:

Purchasing.

If you purchase my poetry in anthology format, I will arrive at your home and recite it for you at bedtime.  Which is rather sweet.  Or goddam terrifying, depending on your disposition.  Just let me know your preference.

Damn fine product.

Just as good as Peanut Butter Cup, but not quite as good as rival Haagen Dazs’ simple Chocolate.

Weird fact — there is nothing Scandinavian about Haagen Dazs; that’s just misleading marketing.  The company was founded in the Bronx.

“Because it is bitter, And because it is my heart.”

“In the Desert,” by Stephen Crane

 

In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
Who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,
And ate of it.
I said, “Is it good, friend?”
“It is bitter—bitter,” he answered;
 

“But I like it
“Because it is bitter,
“And because it is my heart.”
