Brighter Than You Think

Over at Sequart, I wrote an in-depth analysis of Alan Moore's short story, "Brighter Than You Think," from the anthology Top Shelf Asks the Big Questions. The story is a fascinating mini-biography of the magician, rocket scientist, and cult figure, John Whiteside Parsons.

An Unwelcome Realization

Here's a depressing little poem in honor of my birthday yesterday:

 An Unwelcome Realization

 Standing before the shimmering mirror

The cracks in my face become clear

And I feel my age, in a moment of terror

And I know that my last breath is near

Still I cling to the notion that it’s all just a phase

And that tomorrow I’ll wake up renewed

And nothing will remain of this horrid malaise

And I’ll have recovered my young attitude
