Biography

I write short fiction, flash fiction, short poetry. I also have produced 2 lps in the Hard Rock genre under the name Roaming Snyder. So far, I have published one chapbook, the Songs of Barnabas Collins, a collection of poems of recapitulation from the perspective of advancing age with a dystopian background.

All I think of when I see these boots is a hand full of dimes squeaking at me through the leather and broken soles that seem to grind my feet to the ground All I see is a row of wooden picture frames and I count them, subtract them, divide them into the hours that mark my sanity. Because I am aware of time and can add, subtract, multiply and divide it I breathe through the cracks in my soles where nobody can see me. I can breathe into my soul with the sound of socks slushing in my ears and the heartbeat of boots on polished concrete, rhythmically stepping from one duty to the next. And with the sound of the whistle preceding, I lop off decades of time between integers.
