The Wolf

These ‘lone wolves,’ people like to call them, you’ve got to look at them not like a lone wolf but an individual operator who’s been convinced in their head, brainwashed, whatever, that this is the way to go. And they will carry out their assaults systematically throughout.

Underground

Who are you after you finish something this magnificent — in constructing it you have also journeyed through it, to the other side. On one end there was who you were before you went underground, and on the other end a new person steps out into the light. The up-top world must be so ordinary compared to the miracle beneath, the miracle you made with your sweat and blood. The secret triumph you keep in your heart.

Sitting on the Porch with Roger and Winnie

There is little that is more satisfying than a newspaper. Or a dog. Except a dog that feigns interest in the newspaper. That, my friends, is evidence of God.

Saturdays Ago

A time set aside for comfort,
fleece and oats and Woolrich.
But spent watching as koi splashed in latex skin,
struggling to prove that they are koi.

A time set aside for small things moving quickly,
in the glow of the television.
But spent asking, begging, demanding a future that
is not ours. Ours is written.

it
is
right
there.

A time set aside to build a memory that will never leave
but
may be evicted.
