Moochy
We called him Moochy. He was always darting around the cafeteria, shouldering up to somebody, feigning lack and then taking their milk or their HoHo's or anything he could get. Mostly it was chips because he loved salt. He would sneak under the bleachers at the ball field during the…
Girls Needed $200/HR Weekends and Nights
The ad in City Paper says you'll model for gentlemen, and you like the sound of that. Modelling for gentlemen would be an excellent way to fuck with your ex-boyfriend. When your roommate Shawn is working at the construction site and your roommate Rachel is hanging her latest show, sit…
No One Said It Would Be Easy
Your first message is from some kid who only just gained the right to drink in bars this past November, and what he writes to you is I like older women. Good lord. You log off. The next morning you wake up in your new bedroom in a small town…
Return
We were supposed to get high at lunchtime behind the uprights in the athletic field in the little bit of woods the dopers had carved out for themselves. And then Piantedosi, who was going to bring the herb, only had some acid. I had sworn never to trip but I…
Two More Fishing Trips
I always thought my brother would die in the woods, felled by a tree, crushed in a rocky ravine, shot by another deer hunter, or that his chain saw would buck in a gnarled maple tree and bounce back, leaving his bloody remains for some hapless wanderer to find. Or…
Buoyancy
On a beautiful late summer day in 1967, just before I was to be married, my parents went to a neighborhood barbecue. I was thinking of my parents as old, then, but they were just in their early forties—still vibrant and youthful in the world's eyes. They went to the…
To Live Without Air
My American friends who visit Bogota always ask “Where is the air?” and I don't tell them that I left my mountaintop city for air many years ago. However, I have always known one can live without it, in fact, sometimes life demands we do exactly that. That is what…
Arizabesu
I am five. My mother has picked me up from school after her lunch shift at the restaurant. She smells like cooking oil, sliced fish, and soy sauce. I am ashamed of her smell, her apron. I am ashamed of how she nods and bows to greet my teachers, and…
Moving Past the Label
My classmates and I sat cross-legged in a circle, a small group of Israeli high school students from the Advanced Arabic class. Our teacher leaned against a pine tree, presiding over our version of a traditional storytelling scene. We were taking turns reciting classic tales that we had memorized in…
Obroni’s Heart
The elders, they say anyone who knows their way through the Kumasi central market will have earned their path through life, all the way to heaven. Me, Aaron, nine years old, I've always known it: I'm going to heaven. The elders say heaven is full of ripe papayas and mangoes,…
My Mother’s Life
The first time after I read Raymond Carver's My Father's Life, I called my mother immediately. I waited for the dial tone to be replaced by the familiar “hello, baby” from my mother's young voice, always bright with a sharp rise in intonation on the last syllable, almost like a…
The Finder
“You need a hair cut, shipmate.” His voice was sharp and clear, as if he was standing on the bow of his ship, addressing another sailor. “You look like a hippy. We need to get you squared away, sailor.” His tone was undeniably stern. The tone he used with our…
The Mule Deer
When my oldest son is the size of an apple, my belly begins to push out against my overalls. It is late summer, and the monsoons have brought a week of night rain in the Arizona desert. The water sounds like stones being thrown against the tin roof. I lie…
Length of Days
Burton sat across from the digital MRI of his prostate. No matter where he looked in the room, the splotch of tumor on the computer screen seemed to fix on him, like the eyes in some portraits. He conjured up his young partner's face for comfort. Paton's face, radiating warmth,…
