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.

MY ARTHRITIC FINGERS,
caked with age,
will try
to unwrap your gift.
Be patient
with me.
It's not
infirmity,
but only
a savoring
of the moment
so long
in coming;
I do
so love
attention.
