Lore and Legend Feb 2019
Darkness sweeps around me
Like the train of a robe
My footsteps tread the black sea
Of wooden planks that hold countless anaerobes

The smell is rich and potent
When I breathe deep the air
Filled with love, sorrow, and excitement
That brings back time from elsewhere

Every nerve inside me tingles
My heart beats a wild tattoo
My throat with my heart mingles
As my brain flashes last-minute reviews

Deep breath in, deep breath out
Suddenly, the lights are up
And without a shadow of a doubt
Nothing in my face betrays the buildup
I doubt there is a feeling in the world quite like stepping onstage to perform. The theatre has always been a magical place for me, and I believe always will be.

Kiss My Bactericide

Bacteria, microbes, germs,
bacilli, pathogens, aerobes,
anaerobes even viruses all
deserve to live this is why
I am an anti vaxxer and I
am defending rights of the
Covid 19 as if they were
immigrants on our shore.
