Building new memories with your stardust.
Life will circle the wheel of monotone.
Birth defects, overcoming challenges, getting happier.
An oasis of memories engulfs me
Conceived on a city tenement roof
The tides washed away my sandcastle.
Slowly, wretchedly, all my family died.
This past year I wasn’t alone.
Being onstage, getting laughs, feeling good
Sometimes my life sucked, sometimes not.
“Finally in the inner circle ,Cool !”
Greatest girlfriend in September, last kiss.
My memories brought me great victory.
news path opens in my life
Smile at the past ??
Meant to be a child start.
unfocused 2 pills hope for victory
the title is adhd not my name
Baby cat
hanging limp
tearful guilt
The heart emojis—ignored. He left.
i married the girl of my dreams
I grew up in Berkeley California
I grew up in Berkeley, California
I visited all 50 U.S. States
I have traveled to 55 countries
I was undiplomatic US diplomat
I am still married to my wife
Pickles, sauerkraut, kefir: fermentation healed me.
Life hasn’t finished with me yet.
Naked in the d4sert sunburns everything.
Naked in the desert sunburns everything.
Naked in Norway freezes all extremities.
Swimming the channel for mon amoiur.
Swimming the channel for mon amour.
He was happy but cancer disagreed.
Not healthy, but not dead yet
Mostly post Covid, all post Trump
Two wrists.
One razor.
Deep breath.
Priority Delivery
Birth certificate in mail. Sender unknown.
Life Lotto
Born into money. Grew up homeless.
Girl with mean eyes plays nice.
Happy tears filled her dying eyes.
Rapid pulsing heart, she is rhythm.
Who am I, if no purpose?
Growing old at a young age.
Wanted maturity. Now yearn for innocence.
Night basked in starlight, finally, I’m home.
My sanity, hanging by a noose.
Navy veteran with a rageful purpose.
Ghosts haunt me, desperate for freedom.
Your emergency has become my problem
breaking walls built to protect hearts
Trying to heal you, hurt me.
Dear Santa,
I really hate you.
Drowned in puddles, burned by stars
Our grief will never be linear
