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.

Oh, What A Tangled Web...

He who tries to forget a woman, never loved her...
The one I miss now?
Or the one I loved before?

Hey Kid...
One day you'll grow up.
One day you'll have an important moment of clarity that spirals through your brain and explodes outward through your heart.
The newly-found, diamond-like focus that suddenly envelops your eyes will cause them to well up with tears because what you've just learned is so, so beautiful...
You grew up...
You finally get it.
And now you're too old to do anything about, kid.

Dr. Gonzo: Shoot it.
Raoul Duke: Not yet, I want to study its habits.
Yesterday's Hippies call other people "Hippies" now.
Think about this...REALLY.

bis vincit qui se vincit in victoria
He conquers twice who conquers himself in victory
im the guy
right now
writing about things to write
my soul is the Earth’s sun 8 million years from now
and my heart is chum, constantly thrown into oceans
jotting down ideas
and always writing about writing
and my writing
always takes a lot of rewriting
i’m so tired
and so ready
to cultivate the paddy fields of your mind
mine your ore
and excavate your precious resources
i am big business
when not writing about not writing
you’ll never see my greatest moments
and if you do?
then I’ll see it first
because,
im the guy
right now
writing
trying

A Prayer For Owen Nicey...
Yesterday, a spider rappelled down it's own thread right in front of my face at the bar. With my luck or my usual absence of, it figures that I came close to being bitten by a spider that was not irradiated with potential Arachnid-like powers but with venomy drunkeness instead (oh wait, I might already have that...)
Also, later that night, while editing my Great American Novel from the back patio, I picked up a penny from the ground and a tiny spider about the size of a red pepper flake scurried away beneath it.
And then this morning, I peed Tarantulas.
