    I write poetry zines and ebooks and am currently working on updating them all into Smashwords. If you are not familiar with a ZINE it is a book produced from a photo copier or a printer. I have just come back from my first zinefest in NYC held at Barnard College. I also write fiction and my first book is called SLANTBOARD which takes place in the future where people can ride on boards that float a little off the ground nor do they go much over 10 miles and hour so they have a similar culture to long-distance bike riding. Thanks for reading!

      babies and cell phones linking birth

      to a phone making baby's cries heard

      round the world scream baby screams

      when the knife stabs you and frees you

      from all life ring phone ring to announce

      the birth of another one sent to plague

      HUMANITY ring baby ring tone call home

      ring drone home alone baby wants to cry

      all the babies on a phone from the WOMB

      calling home wishing to speak to mother

      about a matter of U R G E N C Y do or D I E

      A L I K E D

      the invite said to be a friend to the clan

      the group who were the same LOOK the

      same need the same CREED of indulgence

      the same speed same provenance however

      extravagant they could be but were the

      subtle distinction a function of acceptance

      of same worries how large but really slight

      the problem with them came down to choice

      pink or red white or navy it was major gravy

      waiting to happen if you inhale too much

      DUST the important thing is to CLEAN up

      your junk so that quicksand deposits are
