packed
into a putrid
passage
down
a damning
darkness
marveling
at the mounds
of marigolds
blooming
in a bouncing
beam
a cinder
a spark
sizzles
searing
away
at the winding
wispy
wire
an enlivening
explosion
floating
on the fringes
before
the beautiful
blast
Not only does JT Wilson crack his own knuckles while consuming large quantities of covfefe-free coffee [simultaneously, with the same hand!], he spends his down time creating odd characters for his short stories, novels, poems, screenplays, toxic outcasts that very few people can stomach. He is the co-creator of [paper cuts], a literary magazine that puts the quirk in #quirkcameron, and has self-published nearly a dozen novels over the last fifteen years. His current favorite authors are literary wordsmiths like Nicole Elizabeth “Snooki” LaValle, Monica Lewinsky, Nicole Ritchie, Pamela Anderson, Tyra Banks, and Tinkerbell, Paris Hilton’s dog.
