Kenny

“Brothers in Christ, babe! Us two, we is just brothers, man. Brothers. Hey, you got any of those cans or bottles lyin’ around?”

A friend asked me the other day

A friend asked me the other day

I settled on Golds. Hers. They matched my monochrome mediocrity. White and featureless, even the butts.

Attraction and Repulsion

Attraction and Repulsion

He touched a violent pimple and the skin around it turned darker. The kid closed his eyes. He put his fingers to the inside corners of his eyes, left them there a moment, then scratched the bridge of his nose to give an excuse for the motion. He looked at his reflection again. Now his nose was red.

The First Rule of Hunting

The First Rule of Hunting

The Binding of Me

The Binding of Me

My father pulled out a blindfold and told me to cover my eyes. He said it was the best way to learn. His hands were coarse and sweaty when I took the blindfold, and he was breathing in tight gulps.

Running

Running

My long runs always start at my grandfather’s nursing home.
