Wordplay Whatnot

Wordplay Whatnot

Poetry & prose. Self made mind of borrowed ideas. Word after word makes words, maybe sentences and even some sense. Wrote my first poem in 1982. Began to take my craft more seriously in 1992, but not too seriously. Been published a few times; Vim Magazine, Neon Geyser Porcelain Sky (Zeitgeist Press), 3 chapbooks. Editor of Spirit Caller Magazine. I've been invited to read my poems on KUNV, the Watt From Pedro Show, and Lollapalooza (Las Vegas, 1994). Featured in Las Vegas Weekly. Open mic host.

I'm back, Moonbats! I have returned! Where did I go? To confront Death and History. To the depths of depression, a black hole from which my creative voice struggled to escape. Greetings from Sin City. I'm not exactly the Anthony Rendon of Publish0x a...

I have previously revealed one of the darkest secrets of our government. It's now time to revisit that secret with a follow up report. When you understand what is really happening, you will have sympathy for Joe Biden. Never mind the myriad crimes wh...

Joe Biden hasn't lied when telling those stories about the things he alleges to have done. The stories are all true, even when contradictory to other stories he has told. How is that possible? Well, first you need to understand that there are infinit...
