At 73, I'm still chasing dreams I'll never fully reach. The biggest? That gut-wrenching need to matter… So what’s left if I finally let that go?
This 55-sec clip is from my new piece “Letting Go.” For the full story… the Walmart moment that sparked it, the deep trauma & the rage-to-hope ending…
Head to #ApplePodcasts.

🎭 You Asked for it… More Spoken Word This Sunday, 8/31/25!
My faves we didn't get to. Plus a new hybrid piece... prose breaking out to rhyme.
You guys blew me away last weekend.
You showed up, engaged like crazy, punched YouTube for the replay… Then hit Amazon for copies of the book.
But the best part? Multiple requests for "when's the next one?" (And then there was young Pearl’s request for that Famous Black Fedora.)
So let’s do it again. Right away, this Sunday. Same energy, different poems. Subscribers only. but…
What You'll Hear This Sunday
✨ Fresh pieces from the collection… my faves that we didn't get to last week
✨ One brand new piece… a hybrid piece, prose breaking into rhyme
✨ A different emotional journeyI ain’t promising a weekly series… yet. Just high on your request for a curtain call. Intimate setting. Raw, authentic autistic perspectives. Real talk about struggle, finding our place in this neurotypical world… and moments of, well… autistic joy.
Last week I learned there's a true hunger for authentic autistic voices in our community. Let's keep this conversation going.
Can't make it live? I'll be releasing the podcast version later this week, plus the Amazon special hardcover edition of “every clock is a handgun pointed at my head” drops soon.
Drop a comment if you're planning to come - helps me prep the right energy for the room.

'm autistic. Born 1953. I was not a product of a vaccine. I was not a product of disease. I was not born to be pitied.
I was born to raise Hell. Autistic style.
I'm not out to inspire you. Or even reassure you, everything's gonna be okay. I'm out to give you an experience... of a life.
Our stories... each illuminates a corner of our "Strange World." That 97% of humanity can never travel to.
The unvarnished pain. And... the moments of joy.
In all their glorious extremes.
Not polite, polished, "arty" work...
But simple, direct language. Built in layers... with no hidden meanings.
Cuz deep inside this gruff, septuagenarian exterior, I still hold onto my enthusiastic belief...
If we understand each other, we can raise a little Hell... together.
All subscribers receive a free PDF of “every clock is a handgun pointed at me head.” Paid subscribers support my work… and receive a free printed copy 2 to 3 weeks after publication, 8/18.
