Piece by piece
they tear at you:
peeling away layers of being,
lying about who you are,
speaking for your dreams.
in the squalor of their eyes
you are an outlaw.
dressing you in a jacket of lies
- tailor-made in steel -
you fit their perfect picture.
Take it off!
Make your own mantle.
Question the interrogators.
Eyeball the death in their gaze.
Say you won’t succumb.
Say you won’t...
Holland
A couple of weeks ago I was out in Holland, MI visiting Hope College for a weekend. Surprising to me, I found that I left semi-interested. It is a very rigorous and compelling school and the teachers seemed extremely joyful at the thought of teaching their class (and talking to strangers).

A New Class
I am joyful to begin a new season working with lovely volunteers and enthusiastic freshmen and sophomores from ISA high school in SF. This time around I’m getting deeper in the water as a mentor but also in administration. I’m really looking forward to future sails with this odd group of people and I am not referring to the students.
I try not to attract these but it was hard for...
She Has No Standards
You said I sped up my growth.
Tell me, is that why my legs extend longer than yours? Is that why body is better developed than yours?
Is that why old men plead at my knees for me, until I say I’m not 18?. Until I remind them that with an emergency call I can terminate the life they have spent and seen?
Is that why I am seen as the witch and you as Mother Teresa?

Majestic, supernatural. Saved by the black night.
Your life will never be normal but you shall continue the fight.
Beautiful, supernatural. You are taken over once in a while.

Young one, supernatural. Take flight.
Before the end of an enduring night.
