...Dedicated to Joshua Lambert...

Well, here goes nothing.  After a series of casual conversations between myself and the friend to whom I have dedicated this new endeavor, a new blog comes into being, effortlessly generated while its host charred the grilled cheese.  See, Mr. Lambert decided the time was right to set this blog in motion while I couldn't stop him; his god-like work was stealthy, and determined...while he typed I slaved away over a grilled cheese sandwich that no doubt left him craving an antacid.  

I suppose I'll use this blog as a venue for fragmentary theoretical ramblings, related discussion, and of course, poetry - a creative mode deemed proper for pretentious mystics, curmudgeonly squirrels, tea-sippin' pluralists, hippy-dippy-gossipers and...me

Here's a new piece (though those acquainted with Facebook will recognize it.  Oh yeah - I'll now use this blog as dee place for all future poetry-related posting.  Word, indeed.)  

cold ushers
the heat
forward

a friend
that flows through thought,
and projects its course
through the neighboring
stars - nothing more
than a nameless
quest for maybes,

hypothetical lights
that tease us-we,
with listless turns

a transmogrification
of forest fruits
that shock the tongue,

- the glistening scales
of a puckered gulp of air

Oh yes!  I almost forgot - I'm hoping to generate discussion.  And I mean this in the damn near Socratic sense of such a thing - so feel free to get nasty if ye' need to.  Just make sure you can feel the tinglin' in your toes.
