Biography

I'm a lazy writer. I've been scribbling all my life with long gaps between pieces. I work in IT and love photography.

TO CHOOSE If I could, side by side, with an eagle, soar, or crawl, mouse like, under barn door and run and chase, with crafty cats, like Pangur Ban, I would, If I could, I would, sway, in the way, a flower grows, and drift and swim with trout, below, between the rock and river flow, I'd stop, and breathe, out, and more, and wonder why I'd not before. If I could, I'd flutter by, quiet in sideways butterfly, of blue, and damn the chaos that might ensue. If I could, I'd run, I'd run 'till heart thumped loud, and breath was done. then rest in shade in squinted sun. If I could, I'd love, like paired up white entangled dove, and sing of life in song so sweet on twisted branch above. I would, I know, but now in time finite, I tick and tock and watch for clock, and wait. If I could, like a dolphin stop. just stop breathing, I know I would, and drop below, then, if i could, I might feel more human.
