They just couldn’t be, now could they? Of all the things that they could be – baseball players, prostitutes, eggmen and eggwomen – they just couldn’t be. I spiralled out into the night last night wondering and wandering. This has to stop.There’s a man and he’s president.

It’s a little ringing in the ears this morning. I missed the concert last night but still have the aural hangover. Maybe it was too much whiskey. Maybe it was the sweet nothings whispered in the ear of a stranger.

There were all the girls wearing the pink walking down the beach. Strange. Must be a bachelorette party with all the accoutrements. There was candy too. A boardwalk and all the neon-lit hotels with names like “The […]

There was a song in my head that morning as I left my house and headed out fishing with Jimmy. We hadn’t seen each other in a while and he was at my house earlier than I expected. The sun wasn’t quite up yet and […]

Just let it out, I said. You see, she was screaming in the backyard again and I was on the porch drinking. Not drinking to the point where I was screaming yet, but she was screaming because I was drinking and vice […]

They were the ones we hired. Mostly Mexican at the time. Then later ones from further south in Central America, finally the further South Americans arrived. There was work aplenty and we tried to page a fair wage.

Oh, and they’re talking about the war again. And what’s going on in the Muslim countries. They call them “the Muslim countries,” almost fully with the finger quotes. And then there’s oil and who has it. Rich […]

I could just die. Or so I thought when Bennie was on the lam. How could he have done this to the family. And all the girls. All those beautiful little girls. And then he’s running to Alaska, or Arizona, or […]

I was not. I repeat I was not. Not in the least. Not when you ran away. No mom. Not even then. The dog was still there and the gun was loaded and there was nothing that anything could do to me. I kept on going. […]

From the outset I always said she was nuttier than something on the Christmas smorgasbord among the men and all the women, lovely women, at the table, it would be like she had very little to say until she had that […]

I hereby find the defendant in this case guilty as charged.
That was just the beginning of it. She had been hammering on this for years. Property disputes. A fence that was on her land, but on mine too. Where […]

He really was a good guy. Even though the people he worked with thought him odd. And the fact that his family had disowned him when he was twelve. When he got home at night he prayed to Jesus. Even on the nights […]

I don’t even want to think about it this morning. When I woke up I fed them and everything was still kicking. Not dead, at least not yet. That’s a way to be. But it’s still Monday and everything lays out in front […]

So I woke up this morning with a real speech impediment. I was having all sorts of problems just getting the wind to move over the vocal cords in the correct way and everything came out sounding foreign. I tried […]

Oh, and she was so tall. Me at 15 and all of 5’8″, and her 6′ and basketball. Dribbling between the legs. I wished I was a ball. She kissed me first and only on a sleeping bag she had clandestinely pitched beside […]

It was the rat-ta-tat that I heard all through the night which made ditch digging not seem very worth it this morning. I was literally up through the night. It sounded like new years back home, but it was war time over here.

She just asked me did I do the pills and the trash. As if trash was another name for something you can put in your arm. It’s been like this for 6 weeks or so. Unemployed and unemployable. That’s what my mother […]

Bryan commented on the post, carbon 8 months, 3 weeks ago
It was the taste in my mouse right at that moment that made me want to love her for eternity. That and the fact that I had been at war for far too long. Just a little bitter a little sour. We were coming off a bad […]

It was lying out there over the horizon. He could feel it coursing through him for all these days. These days on the road that made all of the past seem just one pin prick. A balloon reaches its limit. It’s time […]

I felt so many times like I had really scored. It was all up to her though. Referee, opponent, teammate – all at the same time. She never even had a cup of tea without a battle strategy. Later, I would lose the […]
