Tommy's Shadow

Some names have been changed. It’s 1987… maybe 888…I am my father’s shadow. I don’t have many friends and I’m not independent. I’m afraid, ironically, of my own… shadow. Cap, Tony Castille is having Chippy and his family over.Who’s Chippy?Ralphie D. He lives in Florida now. It’s gonna be like a reunion. You’ve heard me talk about Chippy. Dad has a lot of friends with funny names. Cool. Are…

Two Neurons Diverge

Two neurons diverge in a graying brainAnd troubled. I must listen to both And be one thinker long I strain And follow the logical terrain To where it burrows into overgrowth. Then took the other pinging alarm And stating a more compelling claim Because it's within reach of arm, Though as potential for health or harm, They seem roughly about the same And this time they equally lay Across synapses…

The Singularity

🕉️Tat Tvam Asi(Thou art that.) I writhe suspended suspecting waiting wondering worrying toward the singularity.A brick road to infinity stretches out, receding to a point.Flapping pages, pictures, two dimensional, no… wait… they’re moving. Flat pictures with a multidimensional world inside. Creatures, objects come and go as if from a picture frame portal.I’m hovering above this brick pathway…

The Hero's Journey: An American Standard

Phew… deep sigh. Shoulders back, chin up, chest out. Naming it will set you free. Story will save you. I’m thinking about Tommy Orange this morning. I think about Tommy a lot.1 His first novel, the brilliant encapsulation of how my mind perceives the world: a multifaceted tale of beautifully detailed stories intertwining into a magnificent tapestry shawl. It’s Anansi spinning Indra’s Web in…

A Maze Meant More Than I Knew

May 15, 2026 Sunlight cracks against window and diffuses into a thin varnish amongst the marks, prints, and smeared oily dust over the safety glass.Rearview is distorted, backwards moving into a reverse-future.I am up/down.Miles away in time I'm riding that tiny mote of dust.Not to get all Blake about it, but I wonder how many universes exist in that smudge on my window.Do they see me sitting in…
