    About this ebook

    sour cream and vinegar is a collection of poems that take confessionalism into an unorthodox literary marriage with imagism. the deplorable poet brings a unique poetic format that allows the reader to set their own rhythm while being engaged with each poem. Realism takes the threshold over idealism, which in return unmasks the façade of "milk and honey," and allows the audience to accept that, at times, life is truly more like "sour cream and vinegar."

      Existed.

      My

      Spirit.

      Self-absorption

      Is

      The

      Interrogator

      To

      My

      Existence.

      Conflicted

      Energy

      Soars

      Through

      My

      Veins.

      I

      Wish

      I

      Could

      My love

      Dick Free

      I am on

      A pilgrimage

      Of not

      Being a dick.

      My wife, kids,

      Mother, and siblings

      Though

      Remind

      Me

      With love

      That

      I have not

      Gotten

      To this

      Promise land

      Yet.

      They say

      I act

      As though

      I know

      Everything,

      While

      I interpret

      This

      Perception

      To the fact

      That

      They first

      Knew

      Me

      When

      I understood

      Nothing,

      Completely

      Oblivious

      To

      The

      World

      Around

      Me.

      Now that

      I have

      Knowledge

      And

      Experience,

      My egotistical

      Personality

      Wants

      The world

      To feel it.

      Being a dick

      Is like

      Having

      A civil war

      Inside

      Of me,

      Where

      The innocent, ignorant

      Child

      Engages battle

      With the intellectual

      Scholar

      I have

      Become.

      As I progress

      Through this

      Journey

      To

      Enlightenment,

      It is my hope

      That my love

      Ones

      Will embrace

      The kind child

      Still

      Within

      Me,

      While

      Accepting

      The determined

      Warrior

      I am.
