Devil's Ivy
Ode to Epipremnum aureum - A Common Houseplant
Tantalizing tendrils of soft evergreen
Bursting forth in a sparkle of dancing dewdrops
Reaching towards the sky to feast upon the light
Of the glorious golden dawn
Tenderly, I moisten the fertile soil
With an elixir of hopes, dreams, and gratitude
For when I stand in awe
Of the jeweled amethyst dusk
Mortal musings vine through the mind
Anemoia grips the wistful heart
Suddenly struck by the thought
Of when I am laid to rest
Within Gaia’s nest
From my body you will feed
To continue the cyclical celebration
Of our eternal entwined existence
About the Creator

Life's a journey and I don't have map.
I long to create worlds like the ones I would read about under the blankets late at night.
Magical realism.

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.
