Half an hour now
I have been promising
to join my sons in
building a fort in the corner
of the yard.
This is Gabriel’s last summer
before he turns ten
and the fort is mostly
his idea, and he is
the most committed.
Alex, half his brother’s age,
is the “go-fer”
and when he has
no clear command
directs his attention
to fighting everything
he imagines is [...]

1st of all
you never read
so why would you
ever have a book
in your hands

A hundred times a day
they come at me
exotic particles from
extra dimensions
from places I can’t imagine
where the gravity
of a mother’s laughter
doesn’t exist
in universes
where there are
no points of light
no bursting celebrations
against the darkness
but only constellations
of sorrow and bad choices
galaxies where black holes
are the safest place to be
far from [...]

After Nero seized the
burned flat lands where
thousands of Romans
had once lived

that only his wealth
could fund.
This is where the next
emperor built the Roman Coliseum.

You call this an opportunity?
It’s more like a post
behind enemy lines
where I find myself
running ahead, falling behind
I’m not so sure it’s
worth the effort or the time.
What is it that we do,
me and you?
Seems everyone around here does it too.
I should have checked
the fine print in the ad, like I been [...]
