Some Thoughts About Snow
In this moment, the little busy town of Brighton is experiencing a blustery snow thunderstorm - that is a heavy snowstorm with both thunder and lightning.

To Live
During circumstances that erupt in such great uncertainty, I have been trying to piece together my thoughts on approaching how best to help, and support those, and so many who are suffering profoundly as of present.

A Letter to Hollywood
I almost didn't post this poem because of the fears that follow. They creep in. Perhaps I am not beautiful, young nor deserving enough to think such thoughts, for any sexual attention, even from an unwanted over 50 year old source, I am grateful for. For to not be widely…

It seems these sickly skin crawling doodles are expanding outside of overnight airport escapades. Here's a couple doodles I scribbled onto various limb extendables, gathered from the past couple of years.
