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.

IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE
that most of the people
you see out there
have ever enjoyed
sexual intimacies
of any kind.
Who the fuck
would ever want
to be with them,
you think
to yourself,
let alone kiss
their lips
or hold
their hands?
There's no way,
you go on,
that his dick
was ever sucked
or her pussy
ever licked. No way.
But you'd be wrong.
There is someone.
Maybe you?
Maybe me?
