I'm pretty pleased with my latest article, composed in memory of John Slatin, a mentor beyond measure. I learned a good deal about teaching and technology from John, but also about working with people and what it means to be a partner in something bigger than a single person. In memory and celebration, I offer "Yes and Yes-and: Time in the Compshop".

With apologies for the composed-on-the-plane-like production quality

The organic mechanic
Thinks the space shuttle’s
A chiasmic message
Rising from the earth
Like a stalk of corn

The permanent marks
scatter their utterance
like crickets or bats,
subject to skip and
flights of sound
rounding a corner.
