GO

The Game of Go: if you don’t know how to play it, you should! Its a deceptively simple game. All you have to do is put little pieces down on a board, but you’ll find yourself quickly addicted.

This picture was taken last summer. If memory serves, it was a particularly enchanting evening. That’s me on the left, with my good friend Ed in the middle there and my other very good friend Luke on the right

Five Days and No Sleep

This is the second set of poems published to the website. i suppose i took ill. for five days, i couldn’t sleep. i could only lie awake, stare into space, and let the trickle of late-night thoughts have their way with me. after about two days i began to sort through some ideas I’d had for some time, things i wanted to write town but hadn’t taken the time to. that’s how it is with my writing. i come up with stuff slowly and carry it around in my head until i think to put it down. i kept a notebook by my bed and took notes.

house in the yard
written for a friend
dream of seas
written while homeless
let up
a rare moment of optimism
sing for song
to a musician
dance some
pedestrian
composed walking to work
two types
a meditation on the qualities of two objects
housekeeping!
a day in the work
under the tree
one of the breakup poems
i came to get
another breakup poem
old flame
still another breakup poem
