The Magician’s Assistant
Tonight I'm going to disappear. I disappear every night, I know, but tonight I'm not coming back. He will look for me but never find me, that withered wizard. This sorcerer's apprentice has been watching and learning for years, and now I know all the tricks of his trade, and…
Mind Over Mindfulness
It's 6:55pm and this metal chair is already uncomfortable, but I am determined to be here now. How long could a seventh grade band concert even last? There's no way it could be more than an hour. I will not let my mind wander. I know this moment is fleeting.…
A Friend to All Is a Friend to None
Plato pressed the “like” button under Aristotle's status: Poetry is a more serious business than history, for poetry speaks of universals, history of particulars. Then he wrote on his wall: You posted your status ten minutes ago. Therefore, you must be at home, and probably alone. Would you be so…

One Man’s Early Thirties: A Brief Lamentation

To My Love, the Man on Lincoln Avenue Who Yelled, “Hey Sexy. Nice Ass.”
Grease-stringed hair blew up in the breeze off Lake Michigan, tinged with the first freeze of fall, wafting over a cinder-block hit of Axe and spray-tan aerosol, the first (and only) time I heard your crow-like caw. Your head fell heavy toward my hefty derriere, my middle finger ascending of…
