COLLABORATIONS call and respond to another artist's work. Influence creating influence, answering through a mirror, responding in a different form.  The artists on this page that I have collaborated with are part of the BEAT poetry and Romantic Beat movements and include California Beat Laureate Rich Ferguson, the late NYC poet Steve Dalanchinsky and artist Randee Silv of NYC.

Single Maligned Female
Maligned, misappropriated, torch-bearing woman seeks a loving relationship with a free-minded country, including all its tired, poor, and huddled immigrant masses. Must be benevolent, enlightened, and able to relocate to New York City area. Willing to overlook baldness, impotency, and certain STDs so long as you’re not an oppressive, egomaniacal tyrant, and are into plus-sized, copper-skinned women. Open to ethnic origin, religion, and sexual orientation so long as you’ve had no shady entanglements with the Kremlin. Turned on by truth dealers and justice seekers. Prefer false teeth over false democracy. Doxers, Twitter bots, internet trolls need not apply.

concealing: salted by sea, lost overboard tarred feathers tattered ropes vanish before appearing. exit lights never stop flashing. her head a rose. her body a peacock. she pinpoints the whats the whens the whys thinking the sky will take notice. predictions read faster than decoys. glances register louder than antennas. night journeys topple from ladders refusing retreat. omissions drag. the wind slams shut. rosy thorns age in frozen smoke chained to tablecloths. garbage trucks storm by. seats empty row after row. i keep shuffling the deck. dice twirl like a toy top.

dead-eye north: plates under spoons. blades turned in. counting cards on camper van counter dogs bark bored by moonless dreaming. in a hurry to piss on trees we laugh sending them outside. between our plates we make space. fortunes get told. suggestions affirmations complications smoothed by sooth saying visions. folks next door shuffle string sounds. rings hit ear surface teeth stain red. quebecois french. thought gets broken by mosquito buzzing. we pass smoking leaf. rope hanging from one skinny pine. dogs whimper back inside.
