coffee at Starbucks
(Now, I don't ever write poetry because I know I am terrible at it. But this accidentally came into being at 1:00am or so, several moons ago, and I didn't hate it completely. As usual, I must thank Thang for editing and beta testing and whatever. Also, I performed this at an open mic earlier …

I don't usually write such long things, because I always lose interest halfway through, and forget what the point was and go off on some tangent. This, somehow, worked out. Anyway, thank you, Thang (you know who you are) for editing and what not. ❤ The Caller Each day, at exactly 3:29am, the house phone …

Will all great …

Death, Interrupted.
(Disclaimer: I started writing only very recently, so, umm, yeah. These are something I like to call Postcard Stories, stories that can, in theory, fit on a postcard. It was inspired by a short story by Arthur C. Clarke, and his introduction to that same story. But, in what I've written, I don't think I …
