"Based on what? Based on who?
I don't believe in the same god as you.
"Because their song is vibrant and pretty
right now whereas my song is quiet, invisible
to almost everyone else even though
it sometimes explodes inside
my own mind or across
the page or within an overpopulated
unorganized screen until
the computer dies or else I
become a repetitive mess,
page after page of dead birds,"
the beginning of my poem "Is Bird Song Better Than My Song?"
I am delighted to have another new poem appearing in The Rye Whiskey Review (this time in the last weekend of June 2026)...

"brains as porn storage bins
or locked units
or unlocked doors
busted into
grading bodies
like grading papers
degrading bodies
torn out of unread books
some brains think they understand
or have the right to judge
or attack other animals"
the beginning of my poem "human/ animal/ artificial hybridization"
one of two new poems of mine, now appearing in Rusty Truck

"Whoever you are,
you are no longer worthy of speakingfor yourself
in this interconnected conglomerate,
which seems to keep fusing more closely
together in increasingly confused fashion
disasters. You're too old, you're too fat,
you're too broken, you're too hollow.
You're too much, you're not enough.
Stuck in your head, meaningless
pull string."
in my poem "Dummy", one of three new poems of mine, newly appearing in Misfit Issue 42, Summer 2026! Delighted to be included!
