I Am Not Franz Kafka?
All through out my twenties I thought I was Franz Kafka (July 3,
1883- June 3, 1924). He was skinny, tall, introverted, alienated,
intellectual, dark-skinned, well dressed, nervous, dramatic and
Jewish. So was I. Kafka had a deep longing to be a writer and so
did I. He loved literature,… Read full post »
Nothing Man
“I am somebody too! I feel that strength in me. Comfort, my father’s money, family, hometown, I will leave it all behind. What I am destined to conquer I do not know yet. But I know that one day I will come back, crowned with glory.” Osman Lins from “Nine,

The Great Escape (a personal narrative)
I am currently in therapy twice a week. My therapist is
using a psychological modality called EMDR to help treat me. How

When
I was a child I enjoyed sticking my penis into the Thanksgiving
turkey. It was not a political statement or an act of derision upon
my family and friends – it was simply a biological necessity.
At that point in my life the sexual tension had built up so

The Pains Of Puberty At The Age Of Thirty-Eight
“Better late than never,” my Bubi always used to say
but I think “better never than late,”
sometimes. Going through puberty at the age of thirty-eight is not
easy on a grown man- it takes
In A Pile Of Leaves
I have a rather embarrassing confession to make, one that I hope you will not hold against me. I enjoy riding my bike into piles of leaves. I often ride my bike around town so that I can digest some fresh air into

Free Bird?
I decided to open the bird-cage and let my two yellow
parakeets fly freely around the room. After spending so much time
confined in their cage I thought this would be a delectable treat.
I did not want to help them out- but rather gave them the autonomy

The Spiritual Materialist
I went to a Tibetan Fair. There were all sorts of Tibetan rugs, scarves, sweaters, ornaments and jewelry for sale. There was Tibetan music and “Save Tibet” booths, along with booths trying to bring attention to various imprisoned Tibetan activists. However, I was not there for any of thes… Read full post »

Legs
There are legs all around me. Legs on bikes, legs
on feet, legs in chairs and legs in the grass. Everywhere I look-
young legs, middle-aged legs and a few old aged legs. An abundance
