A whispered "Good-bye"
Can sometimes be louder than
The end of the world.

When you look at me, who do you see? Do you see my father with a beer
in his hand all day long? Do you see my mother with her baggage? Do you
see my siblings and their issues? Do you see one of my friends whom you
don't like for whatever reason? Who do you see? I look in the mirror
and I see me, not anyone else. I have features that show whose blood
runs in my veins. I even do and say things that sound/look like…

Cranky with headache,
Not very good company.
I think it's bedtime.

Goes the clock
As I stare at the stars
I hear time march forward
I wish I could stop time
And make it mine
I'd go back into the past
Re-write what I've said
And what I've done
Then maybe you'd still be here with me
But I can't control time
It isn't mine
The stars are my friends
My tears I share with them
Hands of time

Rehashed arguments
Like emotional roadkill

Feet tumble over each other as we spill out the back gate into the driveway.
Six feet between us, Winslow and me.
He scampers too and fro taking in nature's scents,
One more wonderful than the next--at least as far as he's concerned.
Sun is setting yet the light is still enough,
To guide our feet and light our…

all of that have been there front & center the last few days.
We all, men & women, have been hurt by someone...by someone we
dated, were married to, were friends with, our own family even....and
in the heat of the moment, it is so easy to say things like: MEN SUCK
or WOMEN SUCK! (along with other things lol) But you know, I have come
to realize it's not just one or the…

The paperback version of my book Collider is now out on booksellers' websites for pre-order. I'm really pleased with the colorful new cover. I wrote a brand new preface for the book, updating readers about what has been happening with the Large Hadron Collider, the largest particle-smasher in the world, since 2009.
Collider in paperback…

Your Kid's Ear
I was one of those booked baby-sitters on the block when I was a young teenager. And although the kids were fun, and making money was new and exciting, the real thrill for me was that I was allowed to use the phone as much as I wanted after the kids went to bed. Imagine that. Saturday night was…

Smashed glass, plastic bottles near decomposed,
aluminum cans bearing the words Pabst Blue Ribbon,
Coca-cola, Sprite, Mountain Dew,
Styrofoam scraps, once burger-holding boxes,
shreds of black bags, clinging to branches like ravens,
graffiti in bulbous script on rock walls...
some day these will be our potshards
and our petroglyphs,
our mementoes to be found by archeologists,
our culture's messages to the future:
Hello!…
