Episode 009: Your Father Puts Ketchup on So Many Inappropriate Things

Join me for another trip into the absurd this week for "Your Father Puts Ketchup on So Many Inappropriate Things," inspired by a blogger that I have followed for some years. Well, inspired by a comic strip that the blogger commented on a couple years back. Fine, it's the Comics Curmudgeon, if you must know. Big fan of his work.

Anyway, the poem is some dumb fun, you can find it in my book "Blue."

Episode 008: Ecologies of Scale

This week I'm taking it all the way back to my first book of poetry (again), and to my days of riding the Metro in DC with my poem "Ecologies of Scale." I'd like to think most of us are looking at the world around us -- and all of its surfaces -- differently now than we did back then. Stay safe, friends.

Episode 007: Crossing the Aisle

This week it's a poem inspired by a dream I had some years back where President Obama did something unexpected. Don't listen to NPR when you're half-asleep unless you want interesting dreams is what I'm trying to say, I suppose.

I posted the below last week (with an addition at the bottom), and I'm posting it again. We've seen the beginnings of progress, but there's work to do, and the people working need money to make it happen:
