The yardman at my neighbor’s house next door is mowing.  He’s singing too and it’s very very loud.  He thinks no one can hear him as he has a monster Skag–a man’s machine–and the car is missing from the neighbor’s … Continue reading → Continue reading →

I wear the world like a pair of jeans bought off the last chance rack at Marshall’s.  Almost, but not quite right.  An inch or two cut off, a seam taken in a scootch; that’s all that I may do … Continue reading → Continue reading →

I sit on the kitchen doorstep in a dark garage, sucking on a phoney cigarette.  I’m aware of where I am in the blackness and know I am not a part of it.  I stand, no longer having body contact … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Sometimes even good advertising goes bad.  Here (in New England) we have the Red Lobster restaurant chain.  Twice I fell for their mouth-watering television displays of heaping plates, particularly their 30-shrimp specials–piles of shrimp offered in several delicious sounding (and … Continue reading → Continue reading →
