Something I learned today in Torah Study:
The Hebrew prhase: “Yesh Li” is usually translated as “I have” – however, literally, it means “there is unto me.” There is no Hebrew that literally translates to the English possessive with which we are common.
What does this mean? We possess nothing. Everything is on loan from G-d.
That doesn’t mean I will let you borrow the iPhone that is unto me.

Valentine’s Day 2010
The hacksaw
with its layer of dried red frosting
I tossed into the lake.
The body parts
I hid inside long term storage
at the airport.
In silent mutterings
I practiced the patter
I’d give to the police.
She deserved it.
She had used her nails,
painted blood-red,
to scratch my crown.
She didn’t appreciate
my lubricious friction.
Big words for a whore.
Her last.

Quoting the artist on his philosophy concerning sharing:
“Man, comics are meant for sharing! TOTALLY GO FOR IT. You don’t need permission to post the comics on your site or anything like that.”
