like an avenging angel, sweeping the plastic rifle from my hands. I cried when he split the toy mauser, across his knee. Why? Why, grandpa? "You don't play like that," he said. In my innocence I said, "But I was playing you." Killing Japs like you, Grandpa. I know what it feels like to shoot a man. seeing the pain in his eyes that fades to nothing. He didn't say anything Hobbled back up the porc

Exit RowExit Row
Seatbelt tight across the middle Seatback up and locked Baggage stowed somewhere Out of sight And of mind.
Directions recited carefully Like a catechism,
Like every history lesson In every classroom
Anywhere.
I don’t notice the moment When the door shuts Sealing us all from the outside Into the air-conditioned cocoon
Of motion.
Lost in the recitation Not really listening Thinking what are
Cleverly disguised as My own thoughts.
Suddenly the added confinement &nb Exit Row

I know what you did over spring break! It's all over the internet. And I thought you were a good Catholic boy! tsk tsk (I didn't know people could do stuff like "that!" )

Gosh, I hope you and your family are warm and safe. I thought hurricanes were bad, but sounds like you guys have lots and lots of snow! No wonder there are so many great writers from New England.
Hope all y'all are well.

We got about 15 inches, the lights never even flickered.

I miss the south sometimes, the lights go off all the time but you don't have to shovel rain.

I probably won't have internet access for the next week so I hope you have a great Christmas.
