no regrets.

...and what are the words one uses to describe a compilation?, works from my entire life?, fifty years of carrying around a yellow pad?, fifty years of writing and rewriting, changing the words, as their meanings change for me?

Constructive criticism regarding any of my work, always welcomed, appreciated and read with an open heart.

These pieces are extracted from my book of prose, “50 truths and 50 lies, the first 50 years.” Available Here

i am slowly melting away,
returning to the shell of my youth,
wishing things were different,

and content that they aren’t.
