Back in the Day – The Eyes of Bennie Bromstein circa 2011
Once upon a time I was cool. OK, that's a lie because I have never been cool. Ever. I shrug off coolness like a really frilly shawl on a hot day. I am just not made for cool. So let's just say a long, long time ago I did 'zines with friends. This was after… Continue reading Back in the Day – The Eyes of Bennie Bromstein circa 2011
Living In The Folds Of History
To say that the time we are living in his surreal is an understatement but to say that they are historic is spot on. We are living in the middle of history. Big History.

Still Born – a poem
I don't tend to write poetry because I don't write it well but this sprang forth and here it is. Like everything else, I was stillborn. Life fading like the last light of the day. Eyes closing. Mouth opening. Fist unfurling as a flag with no fight. I would enter darkness as a small bang. … Continue reading Still Born – a poem

In honor of my mom's birthday I wrote this for her.
