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.

THERE'S A SPACE
that's ours
alone.
You know
that space.
The space
that allows
you
to breathe.
It's there
in the space
between
confusion
& conspiracy,
between
form
& shadow,
between
doubt
& conviction.
Treasure
that space.
Make love
in that space,
to
that space.
Be eternally grateful
for that space--
it's all
you have
& all
anyone
ever
gets.
