new and dark and sparkling

She should know who she is. And be slowly learning who I am, under this thin veneer of sanity and vanity.

wash tomorrow red

coming out of the clouds, loud and proud and drawing a crowd
to see what the fuss is all about, shouting words absurd enough
to stuff the toughened sacks of slack jawed, wadded-up faces traced
to shadows and silence where the violence is black and grey, today.

I do not know what is real beyond what I feel and seal away
in fey words and absurdities that freeze and tease the disease
of the middle path, the wrath of mediocrity. pretty but soulless.
give me the blood of your sorrow to wash tomorrow red, I said.

Shakespeare In Doubt

For those of you who would care (bound to be someone out there) I have been added to the list of official signatories of an online petition that challenges the authenticity of ascribing the works of William Shakespeare to William Shakespeare.

To see my official listing on the Shakespeare Authorship Coalition check here to find my name amidst academicians and such way more suited to have an opinion on the topic like noted actors Jeremy Irons and Michael York.

Not that I begrudge the fellow his due, I just agree with those who question whether there has been real scholarship that properly attributes just about anything of merit that was published in Elizabethan England to one man. I'd like to think there were a few more working poets and dramatists at the time.

getting back on track...

October 29th. That's getting on in the year and I'm behind on three or four major projects. Not good, not good at all.

So I am going to have to step it up a bit. A lot. A few orders of magnitude. A few magnitudes of magnitude.

The Radio City of Legends conversion seems to be doing nicely, although I am of mixed feelings about it...it kept me from podcasting for a few weeks, so now I am feeling neglectful about that.

Behind on my edits to Tag...haveta work on that, and a gentleman from South Africa wanted some information on my VD and works, for an online publication he does, and I am behind with him.

And man, do I need a vacation.
