Distancing
Distancing Lingering too late over the words — incantations scratched onto these pages, rubrics drawn from the topography of my shifting brain — resisting the allure of veering off into microsleep in the flames of whatever whore of a dream wants to entertain me — I am reluctant to leave the fading ...

I am sitting here secure within the walls of my home office basking in the reaction to this piece. One of the elements of the whole Internet experience is that before these forums came into existence, this piece would have sat in a manilla folder or envelope for several years, making the rounds from...

Garrison In walls we find comfort: even the softly swaying opalescent cloth partitition draped between beds in a ward, as in some comic Gable and Colbert flick, gives us some solace barricading sight, if not sound, dignity, if not security: the grey woman in the wheelchair clutches her purse over h...

This was amusing and intriguing when I read it and didn't comment, and it's still amusing after I read your backgrounding and finally can comment. Those frescos in the entryway to the little church in San Gimignano are almost as horrific as the exhibits in the well-advertised museum of tortures near...

Tying a rhinoceros into politics is very apropos for a Canadian to read, as we have the joy in Canada of a wonderful party with origins in Quebec, where they take their politics trés serieusement . With a lovely twist of humour, they have originated the Rhinoceros Party, which wants to, among other ...

Polite — second draft. He smiles gently, and all is still: a fly squats briefly on his forehead above his good eye then investigates the cooling carcass. He has finished his work been paid, cleaned his blade, holstered the hammer, wiped the red spatter off his arms; the pig lies mute nearb...
