I am an educator and a writer. I was born in Louisiana and I now live in the Big Apple. My heart beats to the rhythm of "Ain't No Place to Pee on Mardi Gras Day". My style is of the hot sauce variety. I love philosophy sprinkles and a hot cup of café au lait.

Poem: "brother & sister"
she’s a waif about to vomit her bread,
to get ready for the Banana Republic shoot,
the “I love it when you look at me” pose.
she’s singularly angular, positioned on a bar,
her brother at her side,
singing glad hallelujahs to the boys passing by.
Everyone loves a stare, a glance, une regarde,
but this gal wallows in it,
lapping up the paparazzi shots, the mental
undressing behind the pews.
She loves it;
she’s sick,
or possibly stuck in a Truffaut film.
he loves it,
complete.
And we are so sick that we stare anyway,
because we know he, she, they love it.
