Music Commentary--Creative Writing--Cultural Hilarity





"What if there are no cries of anguish to be heard? Who is prepared to take arms against a sea of amusements? To whom do we complain, and when, and in what tone of voice, when serious discourse dissolves into giggles?"--Neil Postman

Robots and Cosmic Puppetry

An Erasure Poem


She has blonde hair, very blonde, very light.


You’re stuck, like it or not—

A purely physical phenomenon.

You were asphyxiated by a false belief,

A blissful turtle experience.

That was our conversation.

“I don’t think there’s any single reality.

Something is practical if it helps you realize your goals.”

I want to seize fate by the throat,

But the world, as a rule, does not live on beaches and country clubs.

I want to be buried in a pine box, or no box at all.

No one can prove anything.
