“It’s a myth,” clucked Doris as she picked at her salad. “I don’t believe it, not for one instant.” “You’re just a spring chicken, dear,” responded Doris’ Aunt Clementine as she absent-mindedly primped and groomed herself while they sat gossiping. “You don’t understand how dangerous the world can be, how vicious.” Clementine readjusted her sitting position, shifting forward and cocking her head to one side, bringing it closer to Doris. “Why do you think your mother treasured you oh so desperately before she was taken from us? You were the only child she raised, but not the only child she might have raised. It’s so sad, really.”

In the footsteps of Baudelaire
All good stories start with the words "once upon a time". And so does this one. Once upon a time there was a website called Poetry.com. It is not the same Poetry.com you find today. The one I found was an older one, which now has disappeared. If that has anything to do with my efforts as a poet I don't know. I guess the jury is out on that one.

Among laptops and vampires
"It's ok, I saved the laptop!" I just returned from UK to Sweden after a week of standup gigs in and around London. This was also the first time I met my friend P in real life. He was a cult comedian on the British standup circuit, and quite well known by the British comedians. The fact that he was in the crowd to give me support made the other comedians treat me with some respect.

She is trying
“Whore,” an elderly woman whispered at her husband from behind her hand. Faith Pennies overheard this, but out of politeness pretended like she hadn’t. The woman who had uttered the profanity was a church acquaintance that had made no acknowledgment towards Faith, so faith slowed her shopping cart and pretended to compare pasta prices. She slowed her breathing and opened her ears for potential tidbits of gossip, but the woman had ceased speaking to her husband. This could only mean one thing. The woman had been talking about her.

A Fool's Last Laugh
"No!" I shrieked as I saw Tom leap from the third-story balcony. Surely, he wouldn't survive. It all started when I met my roommate, Tom our freshman year at Ohio State. I was excited to be at a party school since, in high school, I was voted "Most likely to bore classmates to death." I'd be lying if I said that didn't sting. I was ready to embrace a life of fun and humor, and with a little luck, some girls.
