DEPARTURES AND ARRIVALS
Rather than “living in the present tense,” I live “in departure,” I try to live as if this were my actual last day on earth (which it very well could be), and I would like to harbor no regrets if I don’t wake up in the morning.

A BRIEF ANORECTIC HOMILY ON TIME

PERFECT ALBUM: DON’T SAY NO
It began enriching the world on April 13, 1981–a Monday, no less. Billy Squier’s second album would go on to Triple Platinum status, embedded in various categories of the charts for 111 weeks.

I COULD BE THAT GUY 
The guy who's homeless and lives under a highway bridge
Or maybe the guy who lives a step above and
lives out of his battered truck.  
Les Marcott

I was prompted by Karren Alenier’s fascinating article on poets laureate (June 2019) to relate the tale of a recent struggle to hold onto such a position where I live.
