Steve Meador is one of Tampa’s top Realtors. He travels to hell and back on a daily basis, stealing little pieces of charcoal and scribbling down the misery he sees in foreclosures. Some of these scribblings resulted in Throwing Percy From the The Cherry Tree, a 2008 National Book Award and Pulitzer nominee. His work appears in Avatar Review, Blue Fifth Review, Foliate Oak, Stirring, Umbrella Journal, and Word Riot.
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?
