    About this ebook

    I am writing these poems and shorts in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Barrett confirmation hearings, early voting, voter suppression, hurricanes, wildfires, and so many things swirling around while I am in the middle. In the middle of a situation that must change. Some people are on the right and some are on the far right, some are on the left and some are on the far left. Tomorrow the middle might shift but it will still be swirling around me.

    I can only hope that the following shorts and poems will give you a slight reprieve from all that is happening, allow you a chance to catch your breath, a distraction without escaping, knowing that we are in place that will not stop. And in the end allow you to continue to do the work that must be done in a just and equitable way in a world that appears to have lost its way.

      For Stephen Fry, It’s a Sin is a case of art imitating life. The drama about how the Aids crisis of the 1980s affects a group of young gay men just as they are embracing life in the bright lights of London has been acclaimed as a landmark. The series

      The doctors assured me the shrapnel in my leg would do no further harm if they “let sleeping dogs lie,” or at least less harm than trying to take it out would cause. “Hey,” I asked them. “What if it decides to cut its way out all on its own?” My grea

      I’d end the five-day working week. We begin this “five days on, two days off” structure in our school days and it’s a kind of mind-control brainwashing to get you into set belief systems. I’d also change the idea of education as rote memorisation and
