Biothing :
I'm a Texas technofreak who fools with computers.
I've always been married and love dogs. I do not like
republicans, but am willing to make an exception if you
are truly gullible.
I write poems for thrills, attention and because i get
to be anything I want. Poetry lets me fool around with
powerful symbols. It's like Walmart sold atom bombs.
Besides poems, i like dogs, cats, most other not-human
creatures, molecular evolution, electronics, and industrial
design (toasters are good, but i am tired of chairs).
I'm also related to a blue fish.
.
Publications :
I "published" my first chap book by secretly placing
copies in local bookstores and libraries. (Of course i
added cards to the card-index.) There is one copy that still
exists in my home-town library (shh, don't tell anyone).
My poems have appeared in quiet a few obscure, insignificant,
and really quite charming publications. There's a list here.
The electronic edition of my book: "years of water" has not
existed for many years now and will probably continue to do so.
Oh, and add "4,000 woodchucks" (completely unknown critter poems
a few of which might be considered amusing, but most of the others
are deadly serious and often quite boring) to the paper to electronic
wait list as well as "The History of Blood" and "all words" and
"Ginger's Stories" and "the red heart and the silver heart".
But, yeah, well, you come to expect that.
Maybe soon.
Comments (oh my):
.. Don't get me wrong, I'm very serious about writing poetry.
It's the product i find amusing.

Words mean too much; but good poets can often correct this.
.
Poetry? Obsession? Well, at least i'm not out in the streets
shooting people (yet).

A poem is written first in its writer's language.
When you read it, you are translating it into your own language.
Which act requires more skill and creativity,
depends on the individual writer or reader."
