I Have a Humble Announcement to Make
I’ve finished a draft of my story. I call it “A House Without Walls“. It was submitted, in the typical last-minute way, for inclusion in the first annual Electronic Literature Collection, sponsored by The Electronic Literature Organization. If it is chosen, it will join other works in a volume that readers can download or borrow [...]

Notes on Non Linear Writing
I’ve spent the day rewriting my hypertext. Probably because of the amount of time I’ve already spent with it – it might also be that it has been a while and so I’m coming to the process with a fresh perspective and a renewed intentions – it seems easier this time around. I found a [...]

Structure
Last weekend, one of my writer friends told me “You’re so damn obsessed with structure! Stop playing with blocks and build something already!” or something to that effect. I sat down to do that, and I put my outline away.

Unwanted Lullaby
You can’t just lie here, die here,
Stay in pain all day.
Move get up come on get up go
Daylight lifetimes are racing away

At the little bits that might be left
Get what get can get
So move get up c’mon get up go
What would they say if they saw you slept
More for them
They’ll [...] -

Morning and Night
Clear eyes, full of light.
A room, a window,
Shapes on the wood floor.
Small hands, twinkle fingers. Grab the sun.

Stomping over sidewalks
Water in my shoes
Cold coat blowing open
And walking on. -

Exhaustion
Lay me down dead on the day of a parade
Let them run over me
Fire trucks
The clown cars
Mayors with candy
And the horses
Turn me over
Like old memories
Like leaves in the street
Underneath
Equestrian nutsacks
Children fighting for candy -

Statuary
The same hands hold red
In the babe day
That when light turns away
And the days age,
Wave.
These hands are only stone.
They have more time to hold,
But the eyes behind them
Are blind to what weak flesh remembers. -
