Thick skin
Thin skin
Are they worn the same?
Praise yes
Blame less
Does any truth remain?
Thick skin
Thin skin
To open or to hide?
Reasons for
Excuses against
To laugh—or then to cry
(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2016)
Literary Nuptial
Poetry…
the marriage of raw emotion
—and unbridled thought
(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2016)
Then & Now
Once, I didn’t know
—but thought that I did
Now, I know
—but wish that I didn’t
(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2018)
