Aaron Brown grew up in northern Africa, Europe, and the Middle East, and now calls the Washington, DC area home, though he’s not quite sure what that means. He is the author of the novella Bound (2012) and the poetry chapbook Winnower (2013). His work can be found in The Portland Review, Warscapes, and Windhover, among others.
I’d been thinking about leaving. I’d been thinking how there’s something about out here. Before long it’s a new January and you’re hungover with a heartache for a man you won’t see for several years until he pops up on that very popular, critically-acclaimed sitcom with that actress you learned to like, then hate, then feign indifference abou
The leak in your breathing/ tube makes a cartoon squeak./ It takes two nurses, silent/ as nuns, to place you/ in my arms...
If I have already/ gone insane/ but I want to get/ crazier yet,/ what’s my move?/ Go outsane?
