This morning

This morning an entire country woke up speaking perfect German. The thing of it was, nobody seemed to find it alarming or even unusual in any way.

Fragments in Her Head

She had become invalid, like her out of date passport, no more midnight dancing barefoot in the sand in Puerto Vallarta with - how shall we put it- two young local gentlemen who had removed their clothes to attract the attention of the moon.

Now it was TV game shows, soft food, rarely opened scrapbooks and a girl from Trinidad who came to her room to give her some pills twice a day.

Still, there were fragments in her head of that long ago evening with the sand and the moon and those wonderfully attentive young men who had brought her back to life if just for a night.

Looking At An Old Photograph

I look at the photograph I took fifty years ago of a famous stave church in Norway and I wonder not about the church nor the people who built it but how I got to this remote place and how I made it back to Oslo.

Beer

Feeling out of sorts, I looked up how to make beer. Homebrew made me puke.

INVITATION

An invitation to be wild written in a familiar cursive script inside a greeting card with bunnies on the front made me smile.

I put the bunny card face down on the little table in the coffee shop where we first met and half-remembered that day which made me smile again.

Even though it was definitely not an invitation to be wild together I took it as an important reminder nonetheless.

Stuff

A lifetime of absent-minded accumulation is what you get for not being present and aware.

To Whom It May Concern

Your life wears me out what with your here and there now this now that maybe yes maybe no laughter and tears love and nothingness. I think I need to take a break, go off to some silent poet’s hut, being careful not to go anywhere near a waterfall, rushing river, motel pool, or you.
