Strange Days
This is a piece that didn't make it into the very unreliable Berlin memoir 'In the Mouth of the Bear'. (Available on the 'Zon, in big writing). It's just descriptive, it's not really about anything, so I left it out.

Invitation to a Cocktail Waitress
Another poem poked at and fiddled with. Imagine it read in TW's bar-room growl while he smokes a cigarette. Image made by me at canva.com a collage of PD images

Totentanz
image is PD source wiki commons. Now that Netanyahu is intent on his own Crime of the Century. I thought I'd put all my Guignol, Teutonic Mediaeval, Holocaust, Apocalyptic (basically anything that mentions Totentanz) in the same collection. Don't wait up, it may take some time.

Mono Log
First of all, let's call it prosetry. Well, I've been playing with this one for well over 10 years. My normal mode of working is give the keyboard a bash and then dash.

Regarding the quoted/allusory material, I would say that this is the upper (or do I mean lower??) limit of acceptable, but what do I know. If anyone's worried, I'll take it down.

behind the villainous Molloch, just one extra 'l' or a smart suit is enough to hide a monster in plain sight.
Well done.

sure our chums across the pond aren't half-way down that primrose path after the repeal of Roe vs Wade.

and M R James - no bad thing. If you'd posted this today under a different name, I wouldn't have pegged it for your work.
Anyway, I liked it, and so I'm going to bang a couple of big fat cherries on it.

SF/Dystopian fiction is one of the most difficult genres to write well. The trick - they say - is to make it as matter of fact as possible and Ed has clearly done that here. So that's why it's our Facebook and Twitter Pick of the Day.
