AUTHOR.CALHO: If I didn't write it, I would be hitch hiking cross country to Maine and then Alaska in that order. While taking frequent breaks to spread leaflets. And sit in diners. And write on things because I wasn't at a computer. I may still do that in a few years. Writing this also helps me forget about and better understand the limitations of being human, and keeps me busy enough to allow me no free time to burn the world down.

THEMATIC.ABOUT : Collapse often. The things that hold people together and hold them apart and scatter brains. The things that make thoughts go boom. The things that ooh and aah and [expletive deleted]. Sometimes poking around the margins where responsibility ends and the only one to look to is the Original Equipment Manufacturer and say "but, I already pressed 9 for more options and the menus are exactly the same. Can you just replace it?" The answer will be: "please hold." Sometimes hanging out in dark corners. Sometimes following the train tracks. Looking for ways out and ways in and all the while sharing the things seen and heard and done and drawn and written and scorched and healed and teased and caged and dreamed along the way.

so im trying to figure out a name for my book that im working on. yes i am working on a book of 300 poems. oh i didnt tell you? hah! thats cuz it was a triple double secret effort that i am only now making public. there will be no illustrations in this book either. i am not an artist. but actually i am trying to be one in a webcomic that i am attempting to kick start with a good friend of mine you might know as the illkahn. but that aside...

im trying to think of a name for my book... something that says: these poems arent necessarily poems, but not theyre not stories either. something that says that what i am about to read will change me, but not necessarily profoundly... maybe just adjust how i see things in the world around me. something that says that what is contained herein is not really political as much as it is introspective... not seriously world opinion as an opinion lost in the world. i was thinking something like forced cadence.... or maybe... quiet down... down time... something with two words is what i am leaning on.

i know that i still want to be an author and i know that i still want to have a masters degree.... im just not sure what i want that masters degree to be in. i am having serious second thoughts about teaching as a career. maybe ill be a professional librarian.... thatll give me time to write and its something i have kind of enjoyed over the years (i work at a library right now). who the fuck knows... not me. that shit is wack. i hate not knowing things. ill keep working though. sorry ive been away for so long. again. hopefully the gaps will get smaller.
