I am a father of 3, a builder, & a revolutionary; i enjoy tennis, volleyball, bocce and disc-golf. I have been writing verse for the last 48 years; ). i have had the extraordinary good fortune, to have seen ginsberg, ferlinghetti, yevteshenko, voznesenski, and (recently) maya angelou LIVE!. i honestly believe that our best hope, and only defense (for our obscene immaturity and disgusting waste of our planet) is our ability to create ART (and, most-poignently, poetry which exposes our hearts and souls) i await the end of (this) world with a song in my heart, and a (rueful) smile on my lips
