Kimmel wasn’t fired for his remarks on Kirk—he was fired for using his platform to expose and critique our government. Enough! We especially need large corporations, with the money and influence they have, to fight back. sign.moveon.org/petitions/ki...
Reinstate Jimmy Kimmel and stop caving to authoritarian censorship!

I was shoveling around my compost pile circa early Spring, 2008 and when I looked down, there was Persephone coming up from the ground!

"At the same time," one must view the initial contradiction coexisting with the new. It's progression. Contradiction makes one see beyond a small view towards the enlightened. Not a view about a contradiction locked; what changes is the narrow view. Everything is change. Nothing is change.

Why Is That Your Favorite Song?
the song was written
upon the memories
of my trip more
than the motion
or the landmarks
we did visit

somewhere inside the jam
for about 16 minutes
everyone turns to snow
falling and blowing into
drifts of tone
all the colors
in our bones
and then drifting back out
melting back into the world
we are at a concert again
and i take a sip of beer

I sing with you
You with me
Today I drink mercury
And sing with a bee
There's a weighty buzz
Pollen laden guitar fuzz
I’m known for my fake bands
Today we sing with the strands
Waves and gulls
Drumming on pirates skulls
Until the night turns blue
