there's lump in the couch. hi lump

"I had reasoned this out in my mind, there was one of two things I had a right to, liberty or death; if I could not have one, I would have the other." - Harriet Tubman



the world needs poetry now 

more than ever

it needs the ability to notice 

magic in everyday existence 

and to track the inches of progress


the soft, subtle, nearly imperceptible shifts

in the stomach of the world

that suggest that we are headed -- or not 


poetry is a vehicle to celebrate the not knowing

to explore liminal spaces before inches are tallied


because this world. it's a game of inches at best, friends. 

become a curator / connoisseur of the small, the incremental

read poetry. write poetry. join the party.
