Every few months I clean out miscellaneous scraps from my journal and set them on the back porch. Offering these Thanksgiving leftovers up for your minor amusement.

World Travel

If I'm sitting at my local coffee shop
it's everday.
If a person from Mongolia is sitting at my local coffee shop
it's world travel.

Band Name Generator

The Papal Snoods
The Terrible Suggestions
The Eckington Dump
Leper's Squints
Wombat Combat
Popskull [19thC slang for cheap whisky]

Shopping Blahs

Low fat
this and that

Memory Climate

The cold ember
of a hot memory

Cento from The Third Coast, Thomas Dyja

It was a voluntary madhouse
a museum of expired vices
a final cry
for ruined lives.

Night Time

Sometimes midnight is not
late enough for midnight thoughts
Maybe later
When I can hear the flag outside
rustling in the 3am wind.

Memorable Names from the book, Journey to a War, W. H. Auden and Christopher Isherwood

  • Agnes Smedley
  • General von Faulkenhauser
  • W. Fitzhugh Brundage

Naked Ambition

No one never not noticed the nudist.

Not All Soup for the Soul

His soup was lumpy
which made him grumpy
and his family jumpy

A Shard of Memory

The sharp dark
of the old park
and a youthful lark.
