Similarities With Burping
My brain exists as a repository for burping thoughts
Which originate in the bowels of these churning, acidic innards
What comes out is often unexpected
Occasionally foul and rude
Sometimes a loud smelling, even to myself
These emissions, most difficult to control
A confession that a gentleman must admit
Acquit
Even if I desired thus
Or better yet if I didn't
Regardless of the ocean
Or the gurgling cadence
The fermenting of my own miasma
The burping, or these rumbling thoughts
Everything that comes out
Certainly is me

About the Author

I grew up in a small upstate New York town on the edge of the Appalachian mountains. I wrote my first novella at the age of ten. A month after I finished it, my mom died in my hands, and my budding artistic talent was shelved for more than a dozen years. I did a stint in the army. Did a stint in college, dropping out to begin writing in earnest. My first nine published pieces were science fiction. I had only dabbled in poetry up until I met my friend Jodi.

Again, this work is dedicated to her.

Other than that, there is little that is special about me. I'm just another one of God's seven billion children. I try to do a little bit of good every day, try to do a little work for Jesus during the brief moment that he lets me grace the planet. Otherwise, I am just like everyone else, struggling to find out who I am. In truth, there is very little that is special about me. The poetry versus body building dichotomy exists merely to keep me in balance.
