In a world where aging backwards is possible, aging forwards becomes sexy.

Poetry Is Not Written In Stone

The book of Lord Schist
was on the short list
with his rock-solid verse
that shouldn’ t be missed.

His writing is terse
and it comes with a twist
he gives all those who curse
a slab on the wrist.

This 57-year-old lives in a $1,300 apartment to avoid clickbait

A 57-year-old man lives in a completely average apartment, paying exactly what you would expect for a run-of-the-mill shelter in a boring town. The apartment building is in no way remarkable, even if you try your best, it is virtually impossible to come with with anything that makes it stand out. When we reached out …

We should not teach our children how to masturbate!
– Why not, sir?
Carnal pleasure should be rediscovered anew by every generation.

Convenience Store

The woman on the cardboard is fading.
Her elven hair has caught dust. A thousand squirrels run from underneath her.
The year is almost over. On the shelves: nylon socks. Now I am present here.
My groin is stationary at this orange table.
The machines are roaring. The microwave.
Coffee. The blinds. The cold air.
Freshener gets sprayed here with some frequency.

I fell in love with my deep fake

It recited my voice hoarse,
rough
it grounded my coffee
to petty perfection.

Now that is something! Come and see! Oh! Oh!

“Accomplishments” always means accomplishments in the context of other people. Otherwise we would speak of the accomplishments of volcanoes, rivers, neutron stars.

Hierarchy of poetry recital

Oh the wonder of subjectivity!

Parasite subdivide erudite
blundering souls with no rewards

the stillness of aging!

The rocky hills and mountains, like teeth outside of me
the hum of household machines
and me, still there, faithful to the secret
of being the present person who sat
there and felt that

Beat

The distance to writing poetry

You are on your own, you think yourself unreachable. Somewhere on the side of the light. All talk about giving yourself up into the world, as if you can be glorious that way, and you sit there, cold light in your face, half way to darkness You make the senses light, more of the world …

Blackberry picking with daughter

A heavy summer’s day: arms, legs scratched reaching farther, dropping them in a small bin, then a bigger bucket we hear birdsong and from their soggy field some cows stare at us. A sudden smile comes over me. I am glued into the scene, berries are raining in my bin and my mouth is sweet …

This is interesting

My exuberant, eccentric and extraordinary train journey, zigzagging through western and central Europe at a maniacal pace, walking a beautiful stretch of the Camino de Santiago near Donostia/San Sebastián, dipping my feet in the Atlantic Ocean in Sintra, staying in lovely boutique hotels as well as a bench on the boulevard of Nice, sipping red …

Dear Walter Benjamin

In Port Bou, the border town where you decided to end your life, I had a coffee break in a small bar called ‘David’. You know, it is hard for me to find a fascination that keeps my mind occupied. I live in the stasis of peace, and war has become so unimaginable that we …

Who’s afraid of Roald Dahl?

The big fat fucking giant was really a bone-headed pedo who ate children for breakfast after grabbing them in the alleyway behind the chocolate factory, where it reeked of piss. He enjoyed the taste of all children, even the lgbtq ones, but like every male, he did have a personal flavor: skinny bald specimens who …

Portrait with a little pain

The constant buzzer of pain
that ugly fleeting empire
sending out its cavalry

to agitate my nerve tissue, to sabotage
every sound, every smell, every taste
and make me want to be replaced

but fail.

The writer’s hunt

According to the much celebrated author du jour George Saunders, there are three big pleasures in the life of a writer. He shared them in a recent interview I listened to during my daily walk (that’s a white lie: I don’t walk daily, something is holding me back) and now I share them here. The …

Hello pain, be welcome in my upper jaw. You will find an armchair. Make yourself comfortable. Stay as long as you like. I’ll try to be quiet while you enjoy my hospitality. Could I offer you something to drink? Assorted snacks? Do you want to listen to some music? Tell me the story of your …
