The sane point fingers
to keep themselves appearing sane
to stay their definition
The glamorous point bejeweled fingers
to keep their proportions
as the definition of beauty
Well, stop pointing your
sticky fingers at me
I will not obsess your definitions
I am comfortable in my own
imbalance
and deformed self
– I wrote this
This was previously published in GSR. I was thinking this morning about my deformed self while I was waiting for the meds to kick in and naturally my mind went to this poem again.
So, enjoy and as always – feel free to comment, question and what have you.

I’ve decided that I want to spend my weekends playing chess with my son and not necessarily post more than once here. I ask for no-one to be offended as I am not entirely sure I would be able to have any sort of appropriate reaction to such a thing. Not sure, I think it entirely depends on the state of my medication at the time.
Anyway, posting here doesn’t take long depending on the length of the poem I am posting – I do not cut/copy/paste – I retype and hope that I have the sensibility for something new in it. Mostly I like them or do not in the state they are and they remain unchanged.
Go here.
or here it’s last year but there are two there and I like them.
here is good as well. Again, last year but the one here I’ve always had affection for.
these made me feel good.
I will post more in the future when I am feeling this lazy again.
That’s Charlie. I’m Jhon and you are going to have an excellent day.

Let us not forget to go here: ‘I sketch umbrellas to remind’
but for today…
apologies for my lack of other wit or comment as my index finger makes it too difficult to write with any ease – I would say it was making excuses but it took over a day to stop the bleeding in the first place and I have already pounded out enough work for today to feel accomplished.
early morning unslept
I am tired of dealing
with ancient memories
they ought to
invent a machine
where I can
delete
I guess there is a pill
for that
and now I hear it comes
in bottles at every street
corner in every city
except for Salt Lake City
on Sundays

Rejection digest, my new favorite web site as it has published the stunningly brilliant poem “I sketch umbrellas to remind or Juan Grande Pecador”
Click the title NOW!! I am going to lay out on my couch and recover from a table saw incident and a strange visit to my doctor.
