The Alpha Bet

I love old buildings. When I first saw the graffiti on the red brick building next to my bank, I was upset. Still, I admired it enough to take a picture (cover). The next time I went to the bank, the graffiti had been blasted away. Only a faded etch remained. Like a metaphor for life, dramatic events bleed color into our days, some leave a permanent mark.

This collection shades dark. Chaotically presented, The Alpha Bet is a penetrative array of micro-satire & drama taking on multiple points of view, and converging themes including headlines, mental health, rage, love, and writing. Leap into stories that filet the fabric of modern life.  



I once got lost in the facets of a diamond

eyes framed-in the kaleidoscope

world dancing in the shine

safe in the ether

I slept
