I've lived a life of madness and mayhem. I’ve had diabetes for 50 years and have been addicted to one substance of another for 45 of those years. It has been a beautifully joyful and painful schizophrenic ride: drugs, booze, women, music, writing, and learning with each new success or defeat. This blog tries to come to grips with all of life's fractures and contains everything--even you.

BRAZILIAN WAX
"The wrinkles and creases on our faces are the registration of the great passions, vices, insights that called on us; but we, the masters, were not at home."
--Walter Benjamin
--"The Illuminations"
Your pain
has given me
much pleasure.
I've tasted
a lush samba
inside your V.
Your tongue,
flicked me,
like cool feathers
across sun baked
& sex starved
memories.
Hasn't everyone
enjoyed this
with their lover--
I think
not.
They're merely
pedestrians
who have to look
both ways
before crossing.
Norman Savage
Greenwich Village, 2015
