I am a poet and photographer who likes sports, jazz and art inspired by other art. I served in the U.S. Marine Corps during the early 1970's and was assigned to the Computer Sciences School in Quantico, VA. I have published a chapbook of grief poems, I Keep You with Me. My work also has appeared in publications such as Thorny Locust Magazine, core. zine,The Enigmatist, Veterans' Voices and Kansas Time + Place An Anthology of Heartland Poetry. My visual art pieces combine poetry and photographs, and have been most recently displayed at InterUrban ArtHouse, Johnson County Arts & Heritage Center, Buttonwood Art Space, and The Smalter Gallery.

Alike
Alike
I am a human being. I
consider nothing that is human
alien to me.-Terence, often quoted by Dr. Maya Angelou
We are more
the same than not,
but more is not
enough for some.
They let looks
get in the way.
Or, how we speak or
to whom we pray.
We all feel
warmth in a smile,
joy in a child,
peace for a while,
pain as hurt,
anger surge,
hatred burn.
I am in you and
you are in me.
When we can see
our similarity
our similarity
at first glance,
we can share the
best of our humanity.
We can love.
