Spoken Word

On Wednesday, I'm performing spoken word for the first time. No telling how that will go!

Happy Easter All!

Insanity

‎"Your absence has gone through me/Like thread through a needle/Everything I do is stitched with its color." (W.S. Merwin) - Sometimes I stay up late and work so I do not worry. But the lack of words between us implode my exuberance for logic and make me into a being lack of sanity. After all, the definition of insanity "is doing the same things over and over and expecting different results" (Einstein).

Travel

Spring Break is here!!!!!

Tomorrow I will be taking the first flight. The plane will stop in Arizona.

From there, we will land in Baltimore.

Then, we will take the train to DC.

I will then go back to Baltimore and fly to Dallas.

On the  returning flight, the plane stops in New Mexico.

And in Vegas!

And finally, nine days later and a lot poorer, I'll be back in Portland!

Just Exist

You ran into my burning structure
when the rest of the world
was running out. I don't love
heroes in uniform, but champions
of conversation with sentences
like Let's talk. Don't rescue me.
Exist.
