so apparently someone wants to publish a couple of my poems? am I... is this... what is... how can...

Slammed two slices to the dome for breakfast & sat in my lazy sunday energy letting the day drip into me i wasn’t happy per se but i felt satiated whether it was the pizza or the nutritious beams of sun i couldn’t tell you but at least i was full of lightness #lilstory

Hear me out, do away with the blue check and instead do a sanity check

Pondering seems essential

It’s hard to replenish breath It’s easy to get lost in hypotheticals So i sit still and let stillness win There’s nothing wrong with a backyard Or a drive on a familiar road Or maybe an evening walk Nothing is something Nothing is good

When my well dries up, I visit places that showcase art, almost always fills me up

Nothing beats downing a dozen oysters on your own

Ordering a jumbo pretzel is literally an excuse to eat bread and I love it

First Pushcart nom nom nom 🙏🏽

had tweet then forgot such is life

some things you send into the void and then the void is like who are you again

Not only do I need a nap I need a sleep

Unfortunately, goldfish are the filler of the bar mix

I got a new story up in the newest issue of Passages North. This is a special one for me 🙌🏻🙌🏻 It’s about a carpet maker whose son gets recruited by a cleric to fight in the Iran-Iraq war. This was a common phenomenon at that time in #iran #IranRevolution passagesnorth.com/issue-45/micke…

I got a short story in the newest issue of ⁦Black Warrior Review⁩ 🙌🏻🙌🏻🎉🎉 It’s always special seeing your work in print. The story is about a boy in Iran who witnesses a woman sneak into a soccer stadium. Women were banned from attending stadiums after the 1979 revolution

Serious writing is important and so are talking pillows Thanks hex

i open up to a random page in a book meant to be bought, and if it gives me a rush of dopamine, i pull out the cash I don’t have it and buy it, and so yes, bookstores are dangerous places

A fresh peach is life-changing 🍑

Getting back into flash ⚡️
