Some people are born writers; some people are born escape artists. I am a born escapist. This is yet another form of escapism. I spend my life seeking out ways of escaping form the task at hand and usually the task at hand is merely the act of living. I haven’t yet learned to enjoy life; I’ve only just come to a small understanding of what life is all about. We are barely on speaking terms but I’m hoping over time we might become friends.
I have one of two ways of treating this. I could write like you are strangers I haven’t met yet or I could right like you are strangers I will never meet. Let’s just work on the assumption that given enough time and the right inclination we might just bump into one another.
So welcome to my slice of the pie. I hope there is something of interest within these tissue paper walls that stirs up flurries of thought and leaves you asking something more of me, of yourself, or of the stranger you passed on the street and never looked up to see the worry lines, the distant look or the weight they carried on their flagging shoulders.
About Me
- vegted
- I was born in the small town of Greymouth on the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand to which I am intensely proud. I currently live in Hae-Bong Chon at the foot of Yongsan, near the center of Seoul in South Korea. I teach English as a second language. I write poetry, paint, take photographs, am involved in many aspects of stagecraft and escape whenever possible into countless possibilities.

please could I have another slice of pie life
a little larger piece this time
the one with the strawberries and the sugar on top
would suit me fine
the taste would be sublime
the smell would be nose quenching
the touch would be thought-provoking
and I would hear the echo of the strawberry pip escaping...
Greets to the webmaster of this wonderful site! Keep up the good work. Thanks.
