I have written for every art magazine out there and catalogue essays of artist work, but not published with fiction or poetry, which is my goal.
always been to much of an artist to be a writer, and too much of a writer to be …

Nuclear I didn’t know about him the first time. I knew his ex-wife through mutual friends in New York, but ran into him at an opening in Los Angeles. After drinks and groping in Chinatown, he followed me home to smoke a joint. He started kissing me and I had a “why not” attitude. He wasn’t my type at all – a New York WASP. We kissed on my couch, he was immediately on top of me and then we were naked, passionate and a bit surprised. It was slightly awkward, but he was so excited that I gave mo...

Hit Below a glowing doughnut, Against a sharp desert sky, The boy waters asphalt and waits for it to grow. Now you, Man, drench bubbled tar. Jack hammer at the ready; A dare and demand for results. Face towards enemy. Look away, At any moment I am willing to shatter this body, so unlikely -- ashen velvet skin and boiling blood. The fragments of my flesh tear into secret places, splinter and contract. You'll sit for eternity, armed With magnifying glass and tweezers. Swearing you never saw wh...

Starve Earthquakes aren't felt in a cement fortress My shock at mapped fault lines that burst with pressure. Deep crevasse through murky emotions. A landscape of fury and ecstasy. I would sew it shut forever if I knew where to prick. I don't want to feel I don't want to speak I don't want self reflection. I don't want your pity. I sit cradling the original instinct -- hunger. I loved a dead man who kept plants in the corner for years long lifeless, dried up, rotting in the dry air. On top of ...

I Love My Dog By Susan Otto I love dogs. Let me be more specific, I love my dog. I love my dog so much that sometimes I get tears in my eyes when I look at her. I wake up abruptly during the night and jump for the light switch, straining to get a view of her belly slowly rising and falling with breath. Only when I determine that she is still alive, sometimes by shaking her, am I able to return to a blissful slumber. When I walk down the street, children call out or run up and ask if they can ...

Lunch was torture. The big checks came at night from beautiful couples on first (and last) dates who dressed, ordered steak au poive and merlot, smoked imported cigars, and discussed the absolutely fantastically new. Everyone was beautiful. They would run up large bills with friends and always pay with credit cards. Dj's would spin the hottest ambient trance music and a celebrity or two could always be spotted hovering at a table surround by groupies. But it was slow during lunch. On her fir...

I think the writing needs to be tightened up quite a bit. I am not sure why you chose to use passive verbs, (at first I thought it was part of the main character's personality). I thought the characters should be developed more with either dialogue or specifics. For example, when the narrator's friend looks at the garage door opener, he is defined as working for Lockheed. I wanted to either not know that and assume these guys are average guys OR what the narrator did all day at his job. Anot...
Hi. I like your structure: The idea is to do these “peeks” into the mind of individuals and see if they can be a made into a collection. I had a couple of thoughts regarding this piece. First - is it fiction? You comment that all of these words came from "e"'s mouth. Is this a collection of popular culture artifacts or fiction? Does it matter? (I ask myself this all of the time with no real answer.) I wonder if it would help to include as part of your structure some identification of the narr...
