An Unwelcome Realization

Here's a depressing little poem in honor of my 40th birthday yesterday:

 An Unwelcome Realization

 Standing before the shimmering mirror

The cracks in my face become clear

And I feel my age, in a moment of terror

And I know that my last breath is near

Still I cling to the notion that it’s all just a phase

And that tomorrow I’ll wake up renewed

And nothing will remain of this horrid malaise

And I’ll have recovered my young attitude

Alan Moore's Lost Treasures

I recently contributed two reviews to Comics Forum's online series, "Rummaging Around in Alan Moore's Shorts," an academic series of papers, edited by Dr. Maggie Gray, focused on Alan Moore's lesser known short works. I focused on two of my personal favorites: "The Bowing Machine," Moore's collaboration with Mark Beyer from RAW vol. 2 #3 and "The Hasty Smear of My Smile...," a four-page backup story from Hate #30 by Moore, Peter Bagge and Eric Reynolds. Please check them out. I'm pretty happy with both pieces.
