“So much that can neither be written nor kept inside!”
— Tomas Tranströmer
Most people don’t read.
Makes me wonder if I’m living
in some internet niche of
nonrepresentative American life
where people are literate,
words matter. Hello,
twitterverse. Posting things
I’ve read and things I’ve written
on Facebook and what do I want?
Huzzah, congrats, you’re #1, etc.?
Feel like a small child trying to impress
dad with his soccer skillz.
Or maybe not that standoffish. Friendlier.
My dad coached our Catholic Elementary
team and one of my KCSL teams,
bless him, Lord, he tried. To do
a little something before walking
out the interior garage door
from the living room and never coming back.
