There's a light...

"In the velvet darkness
Of the blackest night
Burning bright
There's a guiding star
No matter what or who you are

There's a light
Over at the Frankenstein place

There's a light
Burning in the fireplace

There's a light, light
In the darkness of everybody's life

The darkness must go
Down the river of night's dreaming
Flow morphia slow
Let the sun and light come streaming
Into my life, into my life

There's a light
Over at the Frankenstein place

There's a light
Burning in the fireplace

There's a light, a light
In the darkness of everybody's life"
(from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"
written by Richard O'Brien)

I got my copy of "Florida Review." I am now a literary author, without question. It's odd how much that means to me...like it's a firewall against those who would dismiss me as just an erotic or porno writer.

Don't ask why I chose this song to commemorate it. I also celebrated with fish and chips at Wegman's as a saxophonist played show tunes in the back of the food court. It seemed appropriate.
