The Country Diary Of A Subway Conductor |
«O get him out of there!"What if it cost 25c to wake up in the morning? |
A dollar, ten dollars? |
I’d pay it all the way to the poor house. |
It’s not made if it’s made in Roanoke |
Night pulling up in front of the house like a bus. |
It came at me with shears |
Her sweater had faces, famous faces knitted all over it |
The porch swing ticked off Central Daylight time |
«How many hours do you think it’ll take me to smoke this cigarette? |
«she said with a smile |
The smell of fried food came drifting out one of the castle windows |
«Lets go around back"I said «my brother buried some stuff back there» |
We ducked down and walked through The black bushes |
My shoe made a sucking sound in the turf |
«He can afford anything"I said «he's got dogs that blow on trumpets.""Priests! |
«she cussed |
Thunder cracks over Ben Franklin’s shop |
Who wrapped my dreams in a blanket and led them outside to the black book in |
the yard? |
«Hey what Indian tribe occupied Southern California? |
They were a lucky bunch of |
fellers!» |
Sting Bible, More Sea Bible, Knur and Spell |
In moments downhill, towards sleep in the stillwater shop |
Imagining places I was almost sure I’d never been and had taken to assuming |
were the memories of my grandfather somehow deposited in my mind |
They were there and gone, just before I could get my bearings, catch any names |
or find out where the hotel was |
Just a pile of glass shavings that could never be reassembled into the gone |
order of buildings and the shade pouring off of them |
«WATER!» |
