Garbage in the Gutter
Introduction This is a series of poems I wrote from the gutter, so to speak. Like Bukowski on a bender, I was in a cynical yet whimsical state of mind. This is not an apology, for I cannot help but note that these sentiments, though off-putting to polite society, still hold true, as is so often the case. I am shifting away from this sort of work, but I feel that it came from such a genuine place that it should be published for posterity.

CREATION MYTHTop Story - February 2024
Introduction Among my favorite tropes in storytelling is the creation myth, which always amounts to an impossible story about how things came to be which is nevertheless more appealing and resonant than the boring old facts.

Horror to Culture
A friend of mine started a page devoted to horror. It’s a worthy project from someone I know who has both a depth of knowledge on and a genuine love for the subject, as do I; so, when Mike asked if I would like to contribute, I was grateful.

Papaw
The hill was steep, but not too steep for the six-year-old Dina. Papaw brought her here last year and she was scared, but he reassured her that if she held onto the front of the sled and stayed firmly seated she’d glide safely to a stop in the snowy field below after an exhilarating ride.

The Good Burger QuandaryTop Story - December 2023
“You’re sleeping in the bathtub tonight!” You don’t have to worry about any spoilers for Good Burger 2. This delightfully absurd movie is worth watching, especially if you have kids, because like the first one, it’s so bad it’s good. But this essay is not about the movie, so I won’t put the above line in context lest I spoil the joke. What’s important is that it was this movie from which the line came.
