I do not like candy. I do not like knocking on strangers' doors. I do not like having to deal with the candy disaster that is Halloween. I resent it.

I love narrative and sometimes I feel frustrated with stand-up.

I HATE HALLOWEEN. This makes me VERY unpopular.

I was not popular enough - or at all - when Vanilla Ice was popular to remember who Vanilla Ice is without my husband reminding me. So I don't have a Vanilla Ice key chain.

Humor is essential to survival. Funny poems are vastly underrated. Very underwritten.

I am only able to be honest. And sometimes my view of the world is pretty dark. But still funny.

When I edit the poems - and I do edit, which some people don't mean when they use the term "stream of consciousness" - I'm usually editing toward greater accuracy, which sometimes means more fragmentation, because that is the way I think.
