BIOGRAPHY, 1st Draft (or YES TRESSPASSING) An entertainment by Erik T. Johnson BIOGRAPHY is comprised of three general components: 1) BIO, encompassing the simultaneous coming-and-going of "Bye" and "Hello" (Note how the"Bye" sound is spelled with the letters "BI", to better emphasize the the dual nature of this phenomenon); 2) GRAPH, an indecipherable acronym implying the sound of wooden alphabet blocks pumble-tumping through brass bison hearts; and 3) Y,a common glyph representing the road that diverges in two directions, as well as the oversized, up-ended trumpet devoid of stops and valves often used as a divining rod to help choose which way to go. It is often easier to speak of less ambiguous matters. Lists are helpful in this regard. One can preface such a list, for example, by stating that Erik T. Johnson's works have appeared in over 40 national and international publications. The list would then follow, like this: These include anthologies such as Chiral Mad, Dead But Dreaming 2, and Shadows of the Unknown; and periodicals including Electric Velocipede, Space & Time Magazine, Shimmer, Sein und Werden, Tales of the Unanticipated, Morpheus Tales, Crossed Genres, Structo, and others, many of which are available on Amazon. Biography 2nd Draft: I am an author of Sorely Mistaken fiction. Sometimes known as the literature of Permissive Trespassing or Middle-Finger Metaphysics. I deny the existence of infinity. However, I do postulate Far-too-Longness as one of the essential qualities of whatever, &c. I write against a living, and prefer the glorious failure of a run-on sentence to the shortsighted safety of a proper one that wouldn't dare make a break for it. I am responsible for the etcetracaine problem, and the war on it. At the end of the day I have no idea what I'm saying or doing, but I can't quit.
