So you know I don't spend all my time writing poetry, falling in and out of love, and plotting the overthrow of the oligarchy, I spent this past week at the 2025 Information Security Summit in Cleveland and was a guest speaker. To quote the great Ani DiFranco "I've got spots, I've got stripes, too."

People say that they want Trump to be forgotten once he has left office. Not me. I want to remember how close we came to being destroyed by this clown, the damage and deaths he caused and his name to become synonymous with great evils that have befallen people when they have failed to be vigilant.

an oldie but a goody. once, in the mid-nineties, when so many people I encountered had already heard of me and I was having troubles finding people who would treat me like a human being. I got better. #poetry #poetrysky #depression

Five years ago, when we buried my brother, Robert, I placed in his coffin one of my books which I had signed and inscribed with a new poem "Vae Victus". I figured he could barter it for safe passage. #poetrysky #booksky #funeral

Written in 1973. One of my legacy pieces that seems to follow me everywhere. My heart is no less hopeful, wistful, and romantic. In my volume "Selected Poems and Passions: 1972 - 2011". #poetry #poem #poetrysky #booksky #author
