Tall girl dressed in sleepy black with the blonde sorta pom pom hair sits at the bar while I do work lunch in a nearby booth. A glass of wine arrives for her. She kicks off her sandals avoids the cold round footrest and retracts a leg under her young ass. I wish I was …

For Erik and Suhaill As Max Approaches
I’m not one for the divine preferring to live with the reality that the road we travel (the actual fucking road) dips and meanders not because there is a reason beyond but because an idiot was in charge of supervising the road workers. So I often ponder the potential very imperative biological necessity of the …
November 22, 2016
November 22, 2016 Cold on the way out this morning well, cold for 305 at just above 65 driving with the rear window frosted mostly with dirt. Two pastries and that just good enough Keurig coffee for breakfast. And the fiber pills. We mustn’t stop things from happening. At lunch I flew my quadcopter the …
I hate this place sometimes
I hate this place sometimes: the people it attracts, the things they throw in the streets, the paths they choose through traffic, the places they decide to park, eyes on no ball whatsoever. But this morning, in the shadow of one of the buildings at work, the air was perfectly kissing cool on my face, …
New Year And All That
I’m going to try to write once a week this year, for a couple of reasons. First, I often struggle with the “who gives a fuck about this”-ness of the act, but it’s interesting to look back on these key pecks from time to time. Second, my son is getting older and part of me …
Because Casey
I got home and I sat in the bathroom, my baggy pants around my ankles and when I was done, I was like, man, I really just want to put on some shorts. But you can’t just shuffle like the fucking Penguin to where the shorts are from the bathroom. You put the pants on. You …
First Day of School
Today was your first day of school. You knew off the bat we were not going to the babysitter. On the road, when we turned right instead of continuing South, you said, “This way! This way!” We’d been telling you for a week that you were going to school. That you’d be playing with kids. …
Jack’s First Wasp Sting
The wasps around here are territorial but they’ve never stung anyone. We have a silent agreement where I destroy their nests but generally leave the wasps themselves alone as long as they don’t come at me. I often walk right into a small group of them and they don’t do anything. I believe in not …
Sentence Assignment
I may have gone over four minutes on that last one. I had to quiet my phone timer because it woke the woman from some strange sleep. I think she mumbled, “I’ll cut it off and people will thank me.” So I’m scared now. And thankful that there’s only one sentence to go. I have …
Sentence Assignment
I really screwed the pooch on these sentences. Man, I hate when old Cuban guys tell me about how awesome it was to bang sheep when they were young, and here I am talking about fucking dogs. But, I really thought I would make the midnight express. But here I am on my third sentence …
