“Love is the ultimate outlaw. It just won't adhere to any rules. The most any of us can do is to sign on as its accomplice. Instead of vowing to honor and obey, maybe we should swear to aid and abet. That would mean that security is out of the question. The words "make" and "stay" become inappropriate. My love for you has no strings attached. I love you for free.”-Tom Robbins

Homeless Or How I Learned To Love Freedom and Hate The Bomb
Be careful here; I am not going to make you feel sorry for me or any of my hundreds of homeless friends. There will be no pleas for assistance or the request for impassioned volunteers to make this their cause du jour.
Tread lightly here; I am going to put you… Read full post »
Princess Headband
you twirled me around
put me in your best dress
hosiery like sausage casings
high heels too tight
cut up a pair of socks
to make a headband
for my hair
hair you curled with your hands
pinned sparkles
onto
strips of twisted wool
whispered to me

It was March sometime. 2002. I hadn't begun drinking in the… Read full post »

Love Letters: Stephen and Jack
Dear Stephen,
What can I say? I thought of you the entire drive back 'home.' It doesn't feel like home...it feels false...like I'm living a lie.
I got a post office box so you can write me without anyone knowing.
There is so much I am still afraid… Read full post »

9/11: Be Kind
This is a difficult day. Eleven years ago we lost our friends and loved ones. We lost our dear one, Christopher Newton...a gifted man whom gave us so much. He always said, "Don't just survive, thrive!"
Today, I'm thinking of his message of kindness. You could always count on Chris… Read full post »

Film Review: Magic Mike-Bigger Than Life
Until today, I hadn't seen a Steven Soderbergh film since Sex, Lies, and Videotape in 1989. I actually waited in line in West Hollywood to see SL&V along with a line several blocks long of people my age. Sex, Lies, and Videotape was the first film of a filmmaker sure… Read full post »
What If It's All as Horrible as You Think It Is?
What if this world, this life, is nothing more than a shell game? The rich get richer, the poor get poorer, and deeper still, they are systematically killed off.
What if it is as easy as making a few speeches to get one group of human beings to destroy… Read full post »
