"I am a 46 year old self employed landscaper who has been published in FIREWEED, LETTERBOMB, POETRY MOTEL, ILLYA'S HONEY, CURBSIDE REVIEW,CARRIAGE HOUSE REVIEW, FULL CIRCLE JOURNAL, SQUARE LAKE, INTO THE TEETH OF THE WIND, GIN BENDER, ROGUESCHOLARS.COM and SUNSPINNER..  I dropped out of Columbia university after three years---steeped in the Ginsberg-Kerouac legend I hit the road for Europe, Jackson Hole, San Francisco, a commune in the Ozarks and now Eugene. I am active in the local literary guild. I go hiking in the woods around Eugene with my dogs at least once a week year round.".

 STATS

 Because I am a guy I find great joy in statistics

batting average, rebounds, points per game---

in fact life, when without numbers, seems bereft

so I am working to make life into a sport

 I have statisticaly a great marriage

our making love per night average is almost

4 of 10 nights a whopping .395

(the first 10 months I was over 1 .0

some months recently we have sagged to .250)

 Money buys happiness 9/16th of the time

the price of my dog's loyalty is a repectable $ 648.

and noone has offered that (so far)

I live my day better than 83 % of the fools out there

the sunset is a three-point field goal

 

    Gnosis

  At the coast or desert

  some summer sunsets

  make me feel

  I am sinking into them.

  It is like when

  I was in love with 3 women

  and they breathed me

  in and out and I disappeared.
