Biography

Cuttlefish are shy and elusive creatures; when necessary, they hide in their own ink. This particular cuttlefish has chosen as its habitat the comment threads of science, religion, and news sites, where it feeds on the opinions of those who are emboldened by the cloak of internet anonymity. Cuttlefish is an atheist and a skeptic, and is madly, passionately in love with science.

Women Of The Western Wall

Jerusalem has seen the light And said that women have the right To worship at the wall. To Ultra-Orthodox, this slight Can’t be condoned at all. And so, when women came to pray Together at the wall today, It seemed the worst of shocks! The men have morals to obey– So, pelted them with rocks! …

On Monsters

He’s a monster; he’s not human— He’s the devil in disguise! The embodiment of evil; You can see it in his eyes! No iota of morality No evidence of soul Where a man should have a human heart This demon has a hole. His behavior was horrific— Inexcusable, in fact; No real human could have …

Where The Hell Are The Bees?

The forsythia bloomed at the edge of the yard An explosion of yellow and gold; An abundance of nectar—but where were the bees? Disappearing… or so I’ve been told. So, yeah, the first few lawn-mowings of spring used to be a harrowing affair. My yard has a border of forsythia on one side, which used …

Christian Bigots Claim Oppressed Minority Status

Pity the Christians who dare to speak out— Who defer to the bible’s authority— Three-fourths of the nation, we’ve lost all our clout, And become the most hated minority In our great country’s past—in our halcyon days— When our Christian beliefs were shown deference, Why, we Christians could say what we like about gays, And …

Wait… Shoes Don’t Have To Hurt?

I love my shoes. I love my shoes! My feet no longer sing the blues I’ve tried them all—I’ve paid my dues And now—at last—I love my shoes! I’ve tried the best of hiking boots On crowded streets and private routes (I’ve even worn them with my suits) My feet don’t care for hiking boots …

I’ll Have A Slice Without So Much Rat In It…

It’s processed meat; they say it’s mutton— And that, of course, is that. No need to worry over nutton— It’s not (or is it?) rat. But rat it is, or fox, or mink, (And some of it’s diseased) Chinese officials made a stink And now it’s all been seized. Some twenty thousand tons of meat …

Send Your Haiku To Mars! (or… not)

Have I mentioned that I hate Haikus? Not real haiku, but haiku as it has been translated into American. I don’t speak Japanese–well, not much. Very little, but I have been told by a Japanese student that my pronunciation is remarkable. Which, I suspect, is only true in comparison to this student’s experience with other …

National Poetry Month–Guest Poet 5: Salty Current

I have always loved the writing of the person I only know as SC, or Salty Current. Intelligent, emotional, well-crafted in prose and in poetry, her writing is always worth the reading (and always far more poetic than mine; I am far too chained to rhyme and meter, and SC is one of the few …

Preserving Freedom By Locking A City Down

Max Blumenthal, via Twitter: On Wednesday, Obama said they would not intimidate us — “not here in Boston.” And today the whole city is shut down because of one guy. They shut down the subways. They shut down the trains. They shut down the buses. A spokesman explains, “We’re cutting his options till not one …
