Pleasant Vertigo
All photography by James Colburn
I hope to do more collaborative work with this talented photographer (and close friend) in the future!
I am the light too
I am the light too
We’re equal because
There is only one spirit.
We exchange places.
It’s not just because it’s fair;
This is universal truth.

Stuck No More
Stuck No More
Whispers in the wind,
Thoughts walking over themselves:
Can it really be?
Clockwork gears overturning.
Desperation pressurized.
Under-standing
Under-standing
My heart lies on strings,
Feeling all perturbations,
Those stress vibrations—
Like a spider does for prey,
But praying for relation.
Don’t define it; just feel it
I’m a lover of words. I use language to identify myself and others. I connect memories by composing an autobiographical narrative.
Let’s Update the Plot
Let’s Update the Plot
It’s so arrogant
For one generation to
Presume that it “has
Always been this way” and worse
Still that it shouldn’t be changed.
Under Greener Tyranny
Under Greener Tyranny
I’m chained to these weights.
The change I crave has to wait.
I’m hopelessly poor.
So is my whole family.
And our funds are bleeding out.
The Freedom of Press Threatened
The Freedom of Press Threatened
By Daniel J. Neumann
The government has
Demonstrated tyranny
By abusing the
First amendment, the freedom
Of Press, by seizing records.
Our shared circumstance
Our Shared Circumstance
Poem by Daniel J. Neumann
Life is some wicked,
Is somewhat ambivalent,
Is some fantastic—
Whatever we choose to see
In our evaluation.
