in the relentless heat........Although my
recollection was
entered a minute earlier
................... that the bags issued with egg mcmuffins
leaves turned yellow
......................were white with red and yellow trim,
bitter watery coffee vicariously......he was walking out the door
cold water......................bearing a brown bag
as if our daily suppers depend on it.....
before I had finished writing.
brown grass on the hills.............
clack clickety clack clack clack.............
a glass of beer.................
sleep............................
background noise............
low flying planes.............
never allowed to enter........
the smell of green grass..........
a tenuous relationship to reality......
warm sun.........................
a red front door................
cold cereal........................
working............................
and seep in your soul....................
a white shirt.......................
making love......................
the children laughing..........
blue jeans.........................
potato soup......................
the unbidden flood...............
extensive passages of discordant voices.......
footprints..........................
unwashed windows...........
a dark corner....................
the pine trees overhead......
walking.............................
riding................................
the horizon........................
