“I’m for reckless abandon and spontaneous celebrations of nothing at all, like the twin flutes I kept in the trunk of my car in a box labeled Emergency Champagne Glasses!
Raise an unexpected glass to long, cold winters and sweet hot summers and the beautiful confusion of the times in between.”

For me to know and you to wonder,
I lick the blade, and eat raw dough
Abeyance
In darkness, flesh provides release
Energy is personified
Vibrantly escaping
Captivating glances turn stares

Regardless of...

“Too long till fall, sick summer in bed
You and a lazy mood Ten times the fall, spread, sacked, and I’ve failed Nobody move, nobody move To long to fall Sat shiver in bed You and a test of will Too many fallen, too many failed Nobody move, nobody move Days with the light off, freezing You and I, uneasy, livid Stop, it’s too late I’m feeling frustrated I see no sign of...

“Obama acknowledged that our food system is broken.

It contributes to rising health care cost (think Type II diabetes, obesity, cancer). It makes us vulnerable to...
