Watching Loretta Kovicic and the Texas Slavs at the Mucky Duck

All we had to do was leave town for a week.
I don't want to bring back smoking, but I want to bring back ashtrays. They were so marvelous. My dad had this blue cut crystal looking glass one that reminded me of the Cookie Monster's fancy grandma.

A thread about four things I've had published in the last few weeks.
First, this interview in @radonjournal.bsky.social who published my poem "The Coercive Institutions." The editors do an amazing job of researched each author so the questions are tailored. If you want to find me, I'm there. 1/4
