Superpowers. This place and its people reminds me of the British TV show Misfits. Certainly there are people with certain powers here. Normal, practical powers. Extraordinary powers. Obscured, dulled, and perhaps even in some way/s amplified by addiction, but of course not worth the negative consequences. I'm conscious of famously successful people who have hit … Continue reading Love in the Time of Coronavirus – March 4, 2020

Love in the Time of Coronavirus – March 3, 2020
Up with the birds. Well, normally. At rehab. Then a walk/jog. Maybe a swim in the ocean. Not normally during my past, alcoholic life. I'd drink till 1am or whenever I blacked out and get out of bed whenever the hell I damn well pleased. Some days barely at all. If I had work I'd … Continue reading Love in the Time of Coronavirus – March 3, 2020
Love in the Time of Coronavirus – March 2, 2020
Didn't sleep all night. It's been a while since that's happened. Happens sometimes when you're statistically (autism) unlikely to gain and maintain stable employment. It is surprising though, given the structure my life now, relatively momentarily has. Had an interesting several hour conversation with a fellow resident I'd now consider my best male rehab friend. … Continue reading Love in the Time of Coronavirus – March 2, 2020
Love in the Time of Coronavirus – March 1, 2020

With my comrades … Continue reading Love in the Time of Coronavirus – March 1, 2020
Love in the Time of Coronavirus – February 29, 2020
Rehab days blend together like letters left in the rain. Drunk on sobriety. The three inch surfer with purple hair stands sentinel in a green, kidney-shaped ocean. Muffled conversations mingle with shouting mingle with the sound of frying meat. And the birds call across the afternoon. Across the valley cut by a road that could … Continue reading Love in the Time of Coronavirus – February 29, 2020

The many versions Of ourselves that Inhabit The minds of others Shape shift Hall of mirrors Brains, through the Senses Reflecting infinitely Back upon us Our lives Reputations Destinies If there is such a thing In the sense of a Pre-ordained Path and destination Bah! Of course not Our input into the Computer network Of … Continue reading One Untitled Poem

Why lie to yourself You are free Water skirts raised ground Wallows in lowlands We evolved there, long ago Well, not us Distant, single celled ancestors They too raised themselves up Without which we would not exist We can too Raise ourselves up Cast ourselves down Do either to each other Here, the former. No … Continue reading Two Untitled Poems
