Strike One.

Such a beautiful week here in Dallas. After lunch, I decided to take a walk around historic Lake Cliff Park for some exercise and sunlight. Then, someone called my name. I don’t mean they called MY name, but they called me by my birth name. I have a few friends here in Dallas, and none […]

Pull It (a poem)

Raindrops through window screens Paper-thin sheets between tires and streets The city wrings its sponge to the river Yet more remain Immortal sludge Capitalist fountain-drink dispensers Mixing a shot or two from every spout Filth’s spring flows freely; eternally A toxin to the planet’s life-blood Fed intravenously through mankind’s pipes Christ saves the fetus And […]

Rev. Plays Outlast (watch if you DARE)
