Ed Jamieson

My name is Edward Jamieson, Jr. I live in Southern California with wife and kids. I've been in several mags and I've been also known as editor of Lummox Journal.

Moment

When you realize
You won’t write the next
Great novel
Or write the next
Great poem
Or paint the next
Great painting
But you’re here in the now
In the present
Alive
A survivor of childhood
Beatings
Prison drugs
Now in the present you accept
The daily grind
You’re among the daily employee
Who go to work drink coffee
Take cigarette breaks
Gossip during the breaks
Try to make the day go faster
The day doesn’t go faster
And you know but you try anyway
And you arrive home
And hug your boys
And you realize
This is your greatness
