To Jake, On His Graduation Day

I have had the honor of being your brother for the last eighteen years and, if I can have a moment of selfishness, I would like to believe that I’ve left a somewhat indelible footprint on you. You’re soft as toilet paper, have a keen interest in the arts, and…

Forgotten Iowa: A Brief Retrospective

I think my fascination with this kind of architecture is the kind of imagery it elicits in my head. I almost instinctively think about kids running around the yards, parents getting home from work and stressing about the bills, mowing the lawn and trimming the hedges; the electric hum from…

COME CANDY — A BOOK OF POEMS BY CODY WEBER

FOREWORD The first time we touched… I was young and I was scared. It was cold outside and the trees scraped at the windows. This would become a common theme throughout my life moving forward, staring into the abyss in the heat of a moment and noticing the small details that would…

Being An Artist In Trump America.

To people telling me I will lose business over my posts regarding Nazism and white supremacy: The only reason I live in America today is due to a ridiculous prejudice. One of my ancestors had the forethought and wherewithal to see the rise in hatred against Jewish people in Germany. His wife was Jewish. My family illegally boarded a fishing vessel and they subsequently lost…

The Barista And The Brother And The Bottom Line

“Large iced latte, no flavoring, please.” I said. “That will be $5.54.” She replied. That was the extent of our relationship for the longest time. Her, this long legged and tired eyed barista, always with books and pens nearby. Then there was my homely ass, usually hungover, begging for a…

Coitus With The Eternal

It was the tail end of summer, the time when everything gets inexplicably sad for no reason. The trees wilt like old people preparing for death, the sun is blotted by an onslaught of gray clouds that seem to birth more before the others pass. The strays were looking for…

“I always thought you were a faggot.”

For my entire adult life…wait, no. Not even just my adult life. Even as a young kid when some of the older members of my family were intentionally harsh and mean to me under the guise of “toughening my skin”, I haven’t had a single conscious moment of my life…

WRITING MY WRONGS: 02 — Hello, Whiskey.

It only took the first drink for the old devils to creep back in through the dead cells on my tongue. I could feel the ghosts of youthful flowers blossom in the warming of my stomach, a kind of twisted photosynthesis or something, when one shot turned into the second…

WRITING MY WRONGS: 01 — Humbleish Beginnings

Monogamy was never going to work for me. I knew it from the moment I fell in love for the very first time and I knew it every subsequent time it happened, too. The eye wanders as the heart sighs and as the brain senses patterns that turn into routines…

I Am Not The Man I Used To Be

Full disclosure: I write this about two bottles deep in booze. All of my heroes ended up being exactly like me. Untethered, free from the burden of life, and it was almost certainly due to the amount of narcotics that they put in their system (and they could afford to!). …
