  1. Tim Barrus: Harm That The Wise Powers Deny

    I drove into town today. The streets are ghosts of mist. Lonely chimeras. Kingdoms. Provinces. It was slippery but my nobby tread worked wonders. I can’t wear the medical mask when I am on the road. I’ve done it for over two years. But today was cold rain so the…

  2. Tim Barrus: Riots Have Consequences

    I am a communist. It is too desperate to watch Americans twist in the winds of change that they created. They put Manchin where he is. He’s the Old White Men Are Still Running The Dog And Pony Show Burlesque Act, and twisting plates to spin by themselves. And watch…

  3. Tim Barrus: America Is A Scarecrow Whose Eyes Have Been Pecked By Birds

    The carnival whirligigs of time bring their wormholes and their black holes and their hole holes to Melancholy Revenges Weary Of Being Consistently Undone.

  4. Tim Barrus: It is the Church Itself That Rapes Young Boys

    I am a communist. Any Church that fundamentally facilitates the Something Wicked This Way Comes Road Map, must confess their sins called sexual violence. You cannot escape it by pretending how normal the Church Is. The Church is the rape of boys. Not really rape, right. Wrong. The whole dog…

  5. Tim Barrus: How Much Wood Do U Have 2 Chop 2 Survive A Winter Here

    I am a communist. A friend and I rode shotgun on my dirt bike – riot to riot – armed with cameras. Through fires because we did not think a forest fire would inundate entire towns. New York Times readers were enraged about this trip. Where is my mask. Under…

  6. Tim Barrus: Witches Do Not Have a Divided Duty

    Internal Dialogues. Voices. Desire. Where Is It Written That I Am Obligated To Tell You What Is Real. What has passed the tests of time, and how to break a crackerjack. Choose. One. That fits.

  7. Tim Barrus: Highway Robbery

    It seemed we all had Second Selves. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/17/opinion/great-books-socrates.html?campaign_id=0&emc=edit_cr_20211218&instance_id=0&nl=comments-notifications&regi_id=56243886&segment_id=0&user_id=acf7e0fa0ccfaa274c5a8c73c0976c4a#commentsContainer&permid=115978159:115978159 I am a communist. Ego or go home. You knew there would be a book. About it. There’s a book about everything, right. Wrong. What can possibly be Socratic about Love In the Afternoon. What do you mean, Love In the Afternoon.…

  8. Tim Barrus: I Schlep Books In a Backpack

    Book People. Keep your britches on. Perhaps books are not as important as we think. This would include me, too, as I keep punching at Publishing’s Asshole of Corruption. Favoritism. Power plays. Buba’s buddies. The stupid paradigm of the Author’s Tour. A slippery slope into the downfall of linguistics. What…

  9. Tim Barrus: Watching From the Shadows

  10. Tim Barrus: Dirt Bike Town

    THE WHOLE SOUTHERN LITERACY THING DOES NOTHING FOR ME. IT’S MEAN. NONE OF US ARE WILLIAM FAULKNER NOT BECAUSE WE CANNOT WRITE LIKE THAT – WE CAN – BUT WE ARE NOT WILLIAM FAUKNER BECAUSE WE ARE OUR SECOND SELVES. THE SELF WE APPEAL TO FOR INSIGHT WHICH IS RARELY…
