Upon Finding Your Old Prison Letters and Prayers — from 58 poems written at 29
It was freezing and fire and filled with the smell Of men who made due with maybe two Pairs of britches and who probably shat One anyways in the evening. Yet over it all You sing your song of something like a hope Or a cosmic comedy, of a careful need To never neuter the…

Greenwood Cemetery Graves at Snowfall — from 58 poems written at 29
Snow on the stones, salts and ices That garnish the graves. Greenwood waits For the day when dawn doffs the wrappings And garments of granites, the garland of a robe Or a blanket’s mask on the bleak pillars Like condoms or clasps of copper bracelets Or the hood of The Grim. How will their clothing…

Home — from 58 poems written at 29
You yanked up years of dreaming When they pulled the plug out. Powerful longings — How they flounder in flame. But fleeting are the ways Friction frees us: it frames our pains But tames truth — is the time we spend Bitter a better base for erecting Tomorrow’s morning? Minds fashioned After the evening will ever…

La La Land analysis : a Humble Rebuke of Hollywood
Tara insisted I go see La La Land with her and I didn’t plan on doing a La La Land analysis, frankly. I wanted to go see the film, enjoy it, and let that be that in keeping with the reticence theme of this year-long social media hiatus. Especially since I have an analysis of Arrival, Dr.…

Monomyth Definition: A Defense of The Hero’s Journey
Let me again pick up a standard that has fallen on our literary battlefield: the standard that marks the entrance of The Defender of The Common. It would seem a silly thing to need to defend common things, but in truth we have grown quite accustomed to tearing down good things simply because great things exist.…

Bad Vinyl : horrible album covers and the angsty literary stories behind them
Bad Vinyl Album Covers In my ongoing creative collaboration with Mark N. Photo — a collaboration we’re starting to call The Brothers brothers — we started writing angsty literary stories for cheesy album covers Mark found at antique stores. It’s over on Tumblr: https://bad-vinyl.tumblr.com/post/156323515343/don-was-a-country-boy-alright-but-not-in-the https://bad-vinyl.tumblr.com/post/156583733378/they-had-been-eating-mashed-taters-when-deciding https://bad-vinyl.tumblr.com/post/156366071583/theyd-asked-pete-for-years-to-let-his-hair-down . . . cover image by andrechinn

John Lithgow, The Crown Spinoff, and other musings
Tara and I seldom watch TV shows and movies — I’ve focused on doubling down to catch up on my reading. Having said that, we burned through The Crown during the holiday break and I have some thoughts, spoilery though they may be: For one, the series tends to focus on the tension between the two…

Pane — from 58 poems written at 29
Light leaks in lifting the spirit Of this glass-surfaced glittering kitchen Table and my letters. To tend to many Things in thin-air — this is a way To illumine our love. For light, it shines On to it and up to it, undergirding Its place in our plane. The panel of glass-surface, Framing our fictions, fades…
