From the Bottom Up
Take to the hills then.
—John Ashbery
Boarding the rocket-ship. 15 min
utes to takeoff. Heading to Soberton
for an undetermined length and girth.
But flying makes me so high. Ha ha,
May 15th to July 15th let’s say. Four
months after arrival, we’ve (the collect
ive that is me) finally an inkling of a
notion that this may take a while. Ha
ha, you bark back, thinking this isn’t
funny at all. But it’s Thai take-out
Tuesday and our deliverocket is fresh
from Phuket, this week’s hotspot of
trendy cuisine. Then the reality sinks in.
I’m broke. And my ticket was one-way.
