Slacker poet. Author of "Gravity & Spectacle" (Tolsun Books) and "The Existentialist Cookbook" (NYQBooks). Editor at rinky dink press. Poems on vinyl from Related Records.
My favorite David Lynch moment was on the 100 year tribute to the Lumiere Bros first film. 40 top directors from around the world made a film using the same camera and conditions, like one continuous take no longer than 52 seconds. Somehow Lynch made an epic.

Better to be thought a fool
than to be elected to a second term
and make cabinet picks
that remove all doubt.

Almost felt guilty for having such a great time in Cincinnati, hanging out with Matt Hart and reading to a wonderful audience, right before that election garbage.
But now I feel like those blessed moments of community will have even more importance in the coming years 🖤

Today is my birthday, so if you want to listen to the poems I recorded for one side of that vinyl record, it's less carbs than cake.
