How about a little toast tonight to the winner to the one I loved longed for languished over these past four years wow what a performance what a splendid remarkable sadistic feat of endurance to twist my hope into a knot so tight I bled internally as I waited and all the while I waited I believed was made to believe the outcome was going to be us together but the truth was so wicked simple it felt complicated as if there was going to be a change a revelation an announcement any day now as soon as the wrinkles were ironed out but the iron was never turned on there was no ironing board no intention on the part of my lover to do anything but lie for so long he knew he would finally win the prize of my retreat without once getting his hands dirty with the truth or feel responsible for the wreckage he witnessed with narcissistic pleasure from his sunroom couch as he sipped his tequila straight
I currently live in Greenwood, Indiana. I love to listen to music, books on CD, podcasts or NPR as I work in my studio. My favorite artists are Andrew Wyeth and Edward Hopper. I love poetry, but only the good stuff that isn’t so abstract I can’t understand it. Abstraction better lends itself to visual art, I think. Stephen Dunn is my favorite poet. He’s said just about anything that can be said about the inner workings of the heart and mind. My favorite novel is Atonement by Ian McEwan. My all time favorite band is The Cure. I love science, and anything that relates to how the mind works. I don’t believe in the supernatural. If I could meet anyone in the world, it would be Richard Dawkins or Steven Pinker. If you don’t buy my art or read my poetry, buy one of their books. It will enrich if not change your life. My favorite things to do are hiking, kayaking and camping. My favorite food is so common, I’ll keep you in suspense (It starts with a P). I prefer chocolate to vanilla. Green is my favorite color. I have an aversion to planning or scheduling of any kind, and I live for spontaneous adventures! Telephone conversations make me anxious, and I avoid them at almost all cost. I had a happy childhood. I’m having a pretty fantastic adulthood. I have every intention of seeing my 100th birthday, after which I will happily relinquish my guts to the future of medicine.
Cheers! ~DeMaris
