More evidence that Slim Jims are a superfood — the box doubles as a handy pen holder.

Here’s the thing about a healthy diet — you avoid greasy foods.

I’m so happy to have a haiku of mine featured today on Episode 47 the Dead Letter Radio podcast. (This is a short, special episode dedicated to haiku; it features examples of the short form from more than 30 writers.)
Mine is an untitled haiku about a bleak night this past February; you can hear it at the 9:08 mark right here.
Thanks again to host Taize Jones!
I’ve finally met a woman whose puns are as every bit as bad as mine are. Now I want to run away with her to Maine.
I want to make her my Maine Squeeze.
Or my sole mate.
If you know me at all, then you know I have to post a picture of Harvey Dent (“Two-Face”) on my blog and social media.

Cover to “Batman: Two-Face,” Brian Stelfreeze, 1995. DC Comics.
A tottering nocturnal poppy,
its tail is a plume that moves between tombstones —
as white as them,
as white as the moon ,
and as noiseless as either,
the night’s silent, snowy, swaying bloom —
quiet white dog in a mountain graveyard.
