(Like many artists, writers, and creative geniuses, I have tons of unpublished material filling up binders, boxes, folders, and file cabinets. These vary from ideas to notions to poems to half-written stories. Every once in a while, I’m going to dust one off and publish it here. Here is a poem about the name “Jordi Scrubbings”.)

I created my alias in January 1999.

Jordi from that little French baby

who appeared on MTV in the early 90s.

Scrubbings from Dick Scrubbings,

a guy my friend Chris played in a talk-show we made.

Jordi became a character in a home movie as well.

Flash vs. The Aliens: The Earlier Adventures of Flash Hercules (coming soon)

Together Jordi and Flash (again played by Chris)

worked for ANUS

(the Alien Neutralizing Underground Society).

Protecting the world from the Hartoonians and ANAL

(the Anti-Neutralizing Alien League)

and their attempt at planetary takeover.

Now Jordi is my online persona.

An instant message screen name

and a From label on outgoing emails.

Most of my friends know its me,

but Amazon, Yahoo, Google, and the world have no clue.

The other day Jordi talked a little trash

to my 15-year old cousin.

He had no clue who it was

and called me a faggot.

I told him if he knew who he was talking to

he wouldn’t have said that.

Then I told him to tell his mom I said hi.
