I am Jane Goodall's Tanzanian monkeys typing about bananas. My fingers are Santa's little helpers. My hope is a sporadic rainfall - yet a torrential downpour in all creative environments. I am Theseus, unspooling golden yarn. Sisyphus, sweating uphill. Bukowski, scribbling away in rooming houses. A river always flowing. I am the nightmare of stagnancy and a God of Imagination.

COWARDS AND COW HERDS
If there’s one thing
That has remained
One steadfast and
Virtually monolithic in presence
To my ever-increasing and precariously-occupied mind
It’s this dumb blog.
And for that
Right now
Right here
Sitting on an old tree stump in a backyard
Behind a house that isn't mine
And with a now-tired heart that moved on long ago
I type tiny letters into a tiny phone
As windows of opportunities streak and
Drone by
The braying of Teslas
driven cacophonously by electronic sheep
It’s these dumb things
Defining me today
And in my not-so-distant future
That define me
My one
And only thing left
Here
And now
