To My Fellow Dinosaur Nerds Out There
A poem about my interest in dinosaur facts.
The fossils have told us stories of beasts
not entirely unfamiliar, but not human in the least.
Some have horns, others solar panels on spines,
others bear feathers, talons, plates and massive eyes.
I'm relieved they're extinct now, I'd never want to attend that feast.

The Delicate Art of Faking it
What do you do when your skin doesn't fit? You can't hang it up in the back of the closet or return it to the rack. There's no refunds or exchanges. You get one body. One vessel to experience life with. And when that vessel malfunctions over and over again, the wires get crossed. The pieces and the parts get warped, their once shiny edges rusting. The cogs get harder and harder to turn. And for a lot of other chronically ill people, there's a Before and an After. Who I was before I got 'sick.' Who I am now. Who am I now?

Fabulous!!!💖💕
We probably all love dinosaurs, I know I do. "I'm relieved they're extinct now, I'd never want to attend that feast." If you google Partridge Creek Monster there's info out there about a series of supposed Ceratosaurus sightings around Dawson City, Yukon in 1903 just after the Alaska Gold Rush. The problem with dismissing these sightings is that they perfectly describe a ceratosaur right down to the horn and feathers! No one knew about dinosaur feathers in 1903 and very few people could accurately describe a ceratosaur...
Really cute and well written.
You are the most poetic dinosaur nerd I know. Fantastic!
