Italian sausage toasted sandwiches give me nom-nom-nomicron.

Dead Letter Radio features “Imagine the Moon as Companion”

Leave a comment

I’m truly honored today to hear another of my poems read by Taize Jones on Dead Letter Radio.  This time out, Taize employed his vocal talents to interpret “Imagine the Moon as Companion” on Episode 41 of the program.  You can find it right here — my piece begins right at the seven-minute mark.

You can also find the episode on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Listen Notes.

Dead Letter Radio remains a unique online venue for writers and listeners — its tone and atmosphere are less like those of a podcast and more like sitting down, relaxing and reading aloud with a few good friends.  For me, it’s one of the best things on the net.

If you find yourself feverishly writing elegiac couplets, get yourself tested for Ovid-19.

It’s a new moon …

Leave a comment

A friend of mine here in Roanoke gave me this awesome illuminated moon for Christmas.  (I’d actually seen these around, and really, really wanted one.)  He might have picked up on my weird preoccupation with the moon.

To all of the various good people that I am fortunate to know, Happy New Year.  Our past year may have been difficult, and our days ahead may be more so.

But you are here, with me now, and we are friends. Those are three things that matter — three things without which this life would be a far lesser one.

We begin together.

“Whoa.”

Leave a comment

I really want to see that “Matrix Insurrections” movie where thousands of would-be “patriots” fight for their carefully constructed, shared artificial reality …

… but in the real world they’re actually terrorists having their minds controlled by machines and the Internet. And they’re a fully disposable resource to the system that uses them to retain power.

It’s a replicant Christmas!

Hot damn, my best friend gave me the coolest presents for a writer!  What you see are “Poe-ka Dots” socks, sculpted raven bookends from the New York Public Library and the piece de resistance …

… a lapel pin fashioned after the origami unicorn from “Blade Runner” (1982).  I didn’t even know such a thing existed, so I wouldn’t have even known to ask for it.  I can’t believe she found it!
