Homicide: Now and Then
Homicide: Now and Then
Death comes in the quiet of our thoughts. When we were looking the wrong way. At the moon being smothered by a cloud. It begins in panic. Thrashing out. We want to live. Something standing over us. Waiting for our last breath. Murder. Now and then.

The Planet Jack
download THE PLANET JACK
Jack is a world inside a world. A dream inside a dream. Einstein inside Newton. Hemingway inside Aristophanes. A noun inside a verb. An idea inside an acorn. It is the knot that we call consciousness. Jack exists in a different dimension. Somewhere between reality and fantasy. Between the waking state and sleep. Nightmares on Jack are a reality. They exist. Monsters appear and crawl out from under children’s beds. Time is a prankster and doubles back on you just when you think you have escaped. Jack is especially difficult for children. Who become entranced by their dreams and have trouble separating the world in their mind and the world – out there. On Jack ‘out there’ is an illusion.

Rise of the Past
download Rise of the Past
2017 was a year in the wrong century. The seventeenth century. My head was on a pike outside Newgate Castle. Or someone who looked like me. Laughing at the Prince. People are starting to fear what they say. Next year they will be afraid of what they think. This is a book of survival. Through a world become Dali. The jester is having his revenge on the king. We are standing on the walls, waiting for the enemy to arrive. Old age is another way of going mad.

Daddy Is Waking Up From Breakfast

Red Maple Leaf Flag becomes the official flag of Canada. US orders first combat troops to Vietnam. US marines invade Dominican Republic. Rolling Stones record “Satisfaction”. Viet Cong offensive against US base Da Nang, begins. The Supreme Court of the United States decides on Griswold v. Connecticut, effectively legalizing the use of contraception by married couples. “Mariner IV” sends back 1st pictures of Mars. Bob Dylan is booed by sections of the crowd at the Newport Folk Festival for performing with an electric guitar. Cigarette advertising banned on British TV. Morley Safer’s sends 1st Vietnam report indicating the US is losing. Race riot in West Side of Chicago. India invades West Pakistan – official beginning of the Indo-Pakistani War. Pope Paul VI proclaims Jews not collectively guilty for the crucifixion. Supremes release “My World is Empty Without You”. And these poems about those times.

The Invasion of the Lijks Museum
download “THE INVASION OF THE LIJKS MUSEUM IN STUTTGART, ONTARIO BY FORCES UNKNOWN”
In 2003 the world renowned Lijks Museum in Stuttgart Ontario was broken into. Although no works were stolen much of the work was defiled or damaged. Video evidence showed young men and/or women dressed up in ice hockey goal tender gear rampaging through the museum. The shock to the local residents was immeasurable. A group called BAXTER took credit for the incident. BAXTER’s ‘ism’ believe that art is intended for the people and not to employ bureaucrats. The evidence is before you. Since the break-in, there have been no arrests nor suspects.
