Joe
Joe, We talked, in no particular order, -on a crumbling sandbox a previous dorm-master built outside of my dorm apartment -in a tow truck -under a tarp in the rain by the Rez the night before earth day -walking along train tracks in the middle of the night -in dorm apartments in three states -in your car picking up McDonalds lunch for your kids -in my apartment -at Shenanigans -in bars in Baltimore and Ohio, Illinois and DC -on the Agee room floor -on my patio after dinner and drinks -in your apartment staring at the view from the space station -on your fabled Marina Towers balcony -at the truck stop about, in no particular order, -the south -beer for boys, whiskey for men, brandy for heroes -Jay McInerey’s greatest lines -your kids -Klingenstein and New York -ice on trees -a poem by Larkin -smart people -Luna and Mahler -hearing a wolf howl at night -a surprising evening in Guerry Garth -the best final sentences of stories and novels -ironic views from windows -whoever wrote Huck Finn...
