One Life, Take Two: poetry

When told by my wife that our fifteen-year relationship was over, I found that everything in my life was upended. I took solace when friends and family pointed out I was no longer responsible for her personal happiness, just my own—and that of my four children.

I went into marriage as a bisexual kid, suspicious of monogamy. I was a good husband, and played by the rules. Now I'm single again, and wondering if I didn't have it right back then.

This blog picks up my new life in progress—the life of a parent, and pervert, in New York City.

Emily Dickinson

Visiting the home of Emily Dickinson. Amherst, Massachusetts. April 14, 2018.

At the conclusion of an hour-long tour, the guide asked if anyone had any last questions.

A young woman asked, "Wasn't Emily Dickinson a lesbian?" The tour went well over time.
