"Hello there." Welcome to my Wix-Fix, the latest addition (2014, but now it is 2023!) to my oh so clandestine virtual universette. The 'theme' of the present webspace is still <author page>. And so it goes.

P.S.: there are no internal links. Switch between sections from Headers above + Back.

Shelves and Shelves

I had shelves in my old home office, in the hall, in the living room, in the music room, in the kitchen, upstairs suite, guest room, and the little room downstairs. SO many shelves. Oh and the three walls of shelves/cabinets in my work office. Shelves. Memory.

POEM OF THE SEASON

Since You Asked

The question that continues to haunt me

is whether I should settle for a broad general answer

or insist on painstaking detail in the reply to my inquiry

regarding the art of choice to grasp this cosmic plan

such as plain words in a swirl or sounds twirling upward

or paintings of kings and queens of limitless domains

even panted athletes deigning to stake us to a lead

only to overcome dust and all in the ray-filled race

toward a kitchen of knowledge with its pots and pans

aching to cook up recipes dishes plates or commonplace

grub to assuage the hunger of those whose pains

are simply taking too long to dissipate or somehow

skate around the nagging issue of survival on this

pale blue dot.
