I change daily the size of the bird that will carry me to heaven. I don’t know why my kids dash out of public restrooms giggling at having pressed every hand dryer. I don’t know how they recognize you from your tv show. you wouldn’t believe the business a broken metal detector attracts. my gift is not lonely but it is mine. when I dream the tornado I dream what is in it is undisturbed. man in a chair reading a book. in a tornado. it is hard for me to exclaim. I saw a dictionary drop and miss by a mile a baby’s head because the baby’s head was elsewhere. it is like I am again addicted to those double A batteries that as a boy I’d **** on while outside uncle was kicking that tiny dune buggy at a cat most likely as perfect as any cat we’d come by. I say perfect because it was there and gone. I used to be fat. it felt true. and then I had a fat friend and I went and told him no bird would be able to take him anywhere. you have a wife you have someone to have your child. the success sorrow has brought me is perhaps underground.
