THE BUSINESS OF MARRIAGE
Third times the Charm?
Marriage is a business, but you don’t need a degree
You’re expected to pledge undying love and to swear by that decree
How do I know you ask, Well I’m working on number three!
Marriage is a business; some think financial is the cost
But when this business fails; it’s the heart that is lost
How do I know you ask, because now that I sleep alone… all I do is toss!
Yes, Marriage is a business; one that most don’t understand
When first acquiring a new business you must have a plan
How do I know you ask, because I have my divorce papers in hand!

181 Keeping Watch
Each day she watched through her window. Watched? Perhaps an exaggeration: a monochromatic nuclear aftermath remaining of the world, blurring into a blindness--loss of contrast and depth of field. Achromatic aberrations displayed a waste-scape stratified in grays.

Sunsetting Pride 2024
Happy Pride! As Pride Month 2024 begins to sunset, I want to congratulate every individual who has become brave enough to take control of their life and live as their authentic, beautiful self. This is a month when it highlights those accomplishments. From acceptance within families and friends to acknowledgement in the political arena. Starting with Stonewall (and events prior) leading to the Supreme court ruling for same-sex marriages. We are here, we are queer, and we should never live in fear.
