I mainly think about

what no one knows,

nor I either,

how the brain works,

is God truly cruel,

why what I know as truth

you know as lie,

why you hate me

and I you.

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.
