October 25, 2016 by PBQ

I also live in the state of New Mexico, the second sunniest state, and in Florida, the eighth. I live in three places but I don’t have three faces. This is not exactly a metaphor, yet I can see the metaphor coming at me, a satellite in the hard dark sky. Deputy Azevedo placed Dexter’s […]

Maureen Seaton: West Ho

October 25, 2016 by PBQ

Colorado ties with Texas for 6th sunniest state in the USA. Who cares? The sun’s not racing against itself, why should it? I will not be buried in Elizabethport nor one of the Oranges like the rest of my clan. My body will not be flown home in a crate to be clucked over by […]

Edward O’Dwyer: Grand

October 25, 2016 by PBQ

I hope I’ll never have to suffer the pain of being grand. I mean of being really grand, not that grand we say we are when we mean we’re really not, and then others agree they too are grand when they are so far from it. I imagine famished bodies in the wasteland bogs of […]
