Here's an excerpt from his poem entitled "Are You An Artist? Find out Free:"
"Do you want to knowAfter living in San Francisco, he now teaches poetry in the Chicago Public Schools, gives frequent readings, and is a singer-songwriter, working both solo as well as with several pop bands, including Post Office, The Me Decade, and currently, The Injured Parties.
that badly? Does it even matter?
You're either an artist, or you're not.
No middle ground. If
you don't already know
for sure, admit it,
there are suspicions - signs,
indications, warnings.
And you're worried."

Thanks for this, and for your very entertaining blog. I'll admit to many untold hours of contemplation about our hometown, whether I want to spend them that way, or not. It's times like these that make me wonder how truly boring it would be to have been born in Sarasota.
ReplyDeleteHope you're enjoying my old stomping grounds of SF as well -- great city, perhaps my favorite American city. That's why I'm not living there ... too much of a good thing, right?
Spoken like a true Flintoid.
