So many questions asked to a pane of glass. |

This one was actually inspired by your poem, Maureen.  I realized my reply could work as a poem, with a few minor modifications. Thanks for the inspire (and I've done the same many times -- still do!) |

Mike... don't get me wrong, I love your work, and I like your clever phrasings, but lately the exceedingly short stuff has been bothering me. I like this idea, but I think you could stretch this out into an entire poem. So many questions asked to a pane of glass... and? If there are so many, write them... I miss your longer, more elaborate work. Parasite "Faith" means the will to avoid knowing what is true. |

I have been. My stuff's scattered pretty evenly throughout Open and Sanctuary, with some side trips to Dark and Mature when the need warrants. The shorter ones are simply because I feel going on would ruin the impact and the essence of it. I could say "So many questions asked to a pane of glass. Why am I so tall? What's up with the hair" etc. And that would lessen it to me. I write long when the material needs some room to breathe and space out. Otherwise, a simple phrase or essenced idea is as powerful to me. One of my earliest one-liners "She is a still moment that seems to move." I could never elaborate on something like that, nor would want to. Anyway, visit Open. Two lengthy ones, or three or four if you go back five days. |
