John is a relative newcomer, having been published in about a half-dozen periodicals. Martin has been published all over and has been nominated for two Pushcart Prizes. John has traveled to Italy, Panama, Thailand, and multiple times to Manila, proud capital of the Philippines. As a head of global marketing, Martin has taken business trips all over the planet. Both of them would like to publish and travel more.
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?
