I listen to Jazz and write (mostly) urban poetry.
I drink way too much coffee.
I should have lived in the 1950’s.
I fail miserably at cool.
I aspire to look natty.
I have no patience for lies, bulls**t, Conservative Politics, or religious kooks of any denomination.
I’ve grown weary of corporate culture.
I’m not anywhere near as arrogant as I sound :-)
I’ve never taken any creative writing classes, or had any formal education in writing, I don’t call myself “a writer”, I just write.
I’ve deleted almost all of the lighter things that I previously posted here (limericks, quotes, etc) in favor of the stuff that means more to me.
I welcome any and all comments/reviews….even ones that tell me I suck.

Gesture after gesture, we pause gangs of human flesh, wanton, exposed backs bent, arms outstretched, bloody hands slit by the oiled blade of the intangible orb. The bushels of proof, tied in bundles, as if knots of twigs, or bits of brush culled from the soil of our earth to kindle the flame of our mortal souls. This pulchritude, a muse not borne of acrid prose- sent to violate the pure page- or drift rotten across my tongue like a corpse, tossed about purple sea. The proof does not lie dying...

The apartment I once rented in The Village- proudly poised on the edge of respectability-just west of Fifth was stark, colorless and hollow, eggshell white and colder than the prickly fingers of death, but for one West Village brick wall-circa 1887- tired and worn, battered and crumbling- once sexy and sought after, now aged and broken and only slightly less cracked than one who would write about such things. The windows in my flat were troop strong and opaque- blackened from a hundred years ...

Dumb Bitch bars are meant for drinking, not texting! In better days, men would come here to talk of books, and life, and women, and sport. Men of letters would cry, and drink, and smoke, and write in filthy notebooks with curled up edges on cocktail napkins and matchbook covers that became novels, and stories, and poems. Wisdom borne of Scotch and Bourbon and The Brooklyn Dodgers, and not a frilly umbrella drink in sight. Dumb bitch stay out of my bar! Copyright © 2007 MjD

On the street tramping wild among stinking back-alley slag, damaged goods, and porcine ladies of the night- bloated shadows- head-ready, rotted mouths suckling the misty broth of sewer grate soup, you heel/toe it, quick like, sloshing through thick, vile, regurgitated bile of the money changers, running in putrid rivers of sick. A drink would help or a cigarette, but the bars are closed, the pack is empty, and the matches wet. Just as well, that shit can kill you. ©2007 MjD

Shake my head and chuckle, indeed! This is very funny (it would be a PERFECT funny limerick if lines 3,4 were 6 syllables each) and creative. Sadly, the spelling would probably go unnoticed in the average HS English class! Get those two lines to 6 syllables each!

How It Came to Be that I Watched an Episode of Some Lame Reality TV Show
This was really quite a good read! Topical, very well written, and funny. You economized just enough to keep the length of the piece from being overly long, but kept in enough detail as to make it flow well, read easily, and make sense. Nothing wrong with grammar/spelling anywhere. Very well done!
WTF, indeed. Not sure what you were going for here? Read it over a few times...slowly....quickly...pretending there was punctuation...nothing. An experiment? Just a WTF? A rant, maybe? I did dig the creative spelling technique, however. I must be missing something..
Unfortunately, some here cherish credits far more than feedback, and unless you bathe them in gushes of praise, they'll ask for a credit refund. Short answers do indeed carry impact, to those who are here for the right reasons. The rest are narcissistic numpties who simply want to be fawned over.
Drifting in and out of the Urbis lag time....brutal at times....3-5 minutes to navigate from page to page on a T1 line is rubbish!! But I stay like the rest...:-)
