This week, US President Trump officially designated Iran’s military as a terrorist organization.

13 Oct, 2018, US President Trump: ” … If they feel there will be separation, they don’t come.”

US President Trump makes it clear that the US family separation policy is being used and publicized as a deterrent. In other words, the US family separation policy is terrorism. He also makes clear that he understands this. The disgrace and extraordinary ironies here are (1) he understands this vicious application of US might when he understands so few other things and (2) President Trump has confirmed for the entire world that the US government is demonstrably a terrorist organization and that he is responsible, though he refuses to take responsibility for almost everything else he has done.

I have built satellites, worked in the operating room, been in a cult, …

I earn my living as part of a group which is trying to understand and treat head injury.

In my poetry and short blog pieces, I want to express ideas with unambiguous clarity and intensity.

I willingly sacrifice rhyme and meter, art, cleverness, elegance, and beauty for these.
