William Doreski’s most recent trip of any significance was a drive from Athens up through Macedonia and the various Balkan nations to visit a distant (third or fourth) cousin who runs a tech firm in Zagreb. Then on through Budapest (necessary food stop) to Frankfurt and home.William’s work has appeared in various online and print journals and in several collections, most recently Another Ice Age (AA Books, 2007), available at Amazon.
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?
