A Hasty Response to the Statement of Mr. Dustin Wolgemuth Regarding His (Non-Existent) Plans for a Data Center in Fort Madison, IA
Disclaimer: I wrote this with about three hours’ worth of notice before today’s Planning and Zoning Meeting. It is unedited and, as declared, hasty. It is not cited properly according to any scholarly citation format, but I did cite and you can follow any of the links for further information. To Mr. Wolgemuth, City Manager…

33 (in three parts)
Kylie and I share a birth week, so we treated each other to dinner. Rich spoiled me the rest of the time.

In (Quick) Defense of Completing Fantastic Beasts
The Secrets of Dumbledore was a great 3/5 movie. It hoisted up the previous two, and I find myself watching them in order to watch Secrets. But it’s a terrible 3/3. If they let it be as a trilogy, the whole thing is crap and entirely undermined. The best thing Warner Bros. can do is…

Tuesdays
Every Tuesday afternoon available to me, I spend a couple hours at the Brooklyn Public Library sat around a giant conference table, reading select plays with a mishmash collection of the city’s finest Average Citizens, those of us with a few extra hours on hand and at very least a fleeting interest in dramaturgy.

Candy
It’s faelike. Trickery and youth and playful mischief abound. Children in lines dancing and spritely, waiting to beg for candy. Black falls orange and glowing, and the night is pregnant with possibility. I feel lost, wandering but happy. There’s pleasure for me in not knowing what’s coming, but certain something is on its way. Insignificance,…

Hero Baby
I’m a fighter. I’ve got the long hair and the lore of the Youthful Woman, and the weapon belt of an assassin. Three swords I know nothing about, and a bow I keep trying on. They’re flimsy, until they’re not. I gotta be euphoric to use it, nirvanic. Only then, the big one’s got rubies,…
“Hey little train, wait for me
I once was blind, but now I see
Have you left a seat for me?
Is that such a stretch of the imagination?”O Children – Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
