The idea here is that I will post bits of personal literature and subject them to the harsh criticisms of the online community. That being said, I welcome any, preferably constructive, criticisms. After all, the finest wines are all made from stepped on grapes. So be cruel if need be; these are all living documents which I hope to make better with age.

Better Days

This is just a lil' something I had lying around that I decided to read at the Random Tea Room, Broadset reading. Just putting it out there...

Shingles shaken from roofs are whipped into the street.

an aching store front groans in violent winds.

Beyond the window pane, penny candy.

I used to buy a dollars worth at a time,

at a time when a dollar stretched a lot further.

No neon light buzzed to indicate, OPEN.


On a day like this,

a heavy branch hurled through the window

wouldn't raise much suspicion.
