“Kobe Bryant is literally having a field day against the New York Knicks defense.”
– -TNT NBA Analyst Reggie Miller   So…Kobe Bryant is literally…running the three-legged race.  And having a potato sack race.  And a tug-of-war.  He is…a second-grader.

Three-Minute Fiction
Three-Minute Fiction is a writing competition sponsored by NPR where a professional author devises a theme or rules that all entries have to follow.  For the entry below, the only rules were that the first line had to be “Some people swore that the house was haunted” and the last line had to be “Nothing was ever the same again after that” Some people swore that the house...

The House
well there’s smoke in the air it’s from the north again and the glow from the flames darts and dances with wind there’s a man on the side he’s got water to spare in this day of choked lungs he’s a breath of fresh air but there’s a scowl on his face and there’s pain in his heart he feels the heat from the fire but he’s still miles apart but no one can tell him that the house won’t be saved...

not even when i held my breath laid in silence, prayed for death not even when i dosed the cure and promised that my will was pure not even when i scarred my skin my arm stretched taut, the blade within not even when i seared my flesh and focused on the nothing left  not all the glass, the tears, the pain not all the anger, the guilt, the shame not all the times these things were true will...

Gnats
Devise a plan, bulletproof again One at a time, this you can stand Diligence pays,  just believe what you say But you’re never sure, what volume will weigh Gnats. Glance out of the cell, know you should stay Recite your own mantra, to conquer the day Look in the mirror, repeat the steps. But they’re out there, of course, the stage is set Gnats. Out into the open, it’s can’t be that bad One...

Comfort Me
When you comfort me It doesn’t bring me comfort actually When you comfort me True life in haiku “Imbalance” is the phrase out of the blue The meaning shown to you What does sadness see? The mirror has a mirror in its teeth That’s what sadness is Big sky, tiny bird And when the paragraph betrayed the word Big sky, tiny bird While you held me up I held my calendar out like a cup While you held...

Cultural Recluse
I was in a laundry mat the other day and at this particular laundry mat there were several televisions on various channels. The one nearest to me was a program on PBS about insects in Africa. It was quiet. Slow. Non-invasive. After the clothes were dried I took them over to the folding table, which was closer to another television. I didn’t pay any attention to it because, well, it was...

Ashes of Home
If home’s near the heart the boy’s never lived there but it’s the very same place where he learned how to fear If home is a place where happiness thrives then joy would not visit no chance to survive In this tempest of tension and anger inside Where he first learned a smile is not always a smile where the volume turned loud but nothing was heard and the pain of the silence drove...

Woman Fined for Dyeing Poodle Pink
Baboons Accuse Zookeepers of Similar Offense, Claiming Their Asses Really Aren’t Red So the Boulder police department is fining a woman $1,000 for dyeing her dog pink to raise awareness for breast cancer. Apparently this violates a city code meant to dissuade citizens from dyeing rabbits and chicks at Easter. Let me repeat this part of the program: there is a city code in Boulder, CO that...

Truth Be Told...
From John Steinbeck’s Cannery Row: Once when Doc was at the University of Chicago he had love trouble and he had worked too hard. He thought it would be nice to take a very long walk. He put on a little knapsack and he walked through Indiana and Kentucky and North Carolina and Georgia clear to Florida. He walked among farmers and mountain people, among the swamp people and fishermen. And...

Love Letter to Wall Street
I wake up in a house that I don’t own. And jump start the car I bought with a loan. To drive to a job where the profit’s not shared. Boss’ only concern? How his stocks have fared. I read in the news, Joe Jock just got paid what I make in a year, for him, takes one day. Too many chiefs are caught scalping the braves. Joyride while we starve, then dance on our graves This is our country, the...

untitled ii
(2008) burned by a light with wattage too high like the tone of a keyboard, two octaves too high his sights set on love, his thoughts mired in lust armed with a conscience he no longer trusts mind on the future, weighed down by his past one moment of strength, how briefly it lasts all of the pressure, the tension, the pain one moment of rage, and still nothing’s changed familiar ground,...
