During the pandemic, I decided to try something new and posted a poem to my Instagram pretty much every day. Here are a few of them. And here is the first installment.

Stay Put, Please
Why the fuck does the hair
on my head feel a need to
reallocate itself instead to
my back and my chest,
my nose and my ass?
Seems pretty unnecessary.
But sometimes things change
when they were more than fine
the way they were.

Preparation Is Key
A lot can not happen
if you’re not yet ready.

Expired Warranty
I’ve been left to my own devices
for so long now that I’ve somehow
managed to break most of them.

My Claddagh Ring Faces Out
When you keep your
heart open it makes
it so much easier
for it to be completely
ripped out and then shown
to anyone who will listen
to you weep about it…

I write books (for fun), ads (for a living) and some other stuff (that I often put on the internet).
