The DN










1  I'm right in the thick of it.

2  <ducks from incoming missiles>

3   Anybody lookin'?

4   Last night the fuzzy radio didn't even work.

5   I lived in a garage foxhole.

6   Stacks of papers surrounded me like wet sandbags.

7   I worked into the night.

8   Crows took over my front yard. Crows like two things: school lunches, and shitting on things where inactivity reigns.

9   The crows knew I was busy and consequently had a huge cocktail party in and around my front lawn. The party was held courtly with bottles of whiskey and fine cigars.

10  Don't get old.

11  Moving On, Part One: What month is it?

12  My senior year of high school I got lunched by a this huge guy during a P.E. soccer game on the last day of school. I got knocked out. It was a bazillion degrees.

13  When I came to I found myself surrounded by all sorts of people wondering if I was okay.

14  Some medical guy asked me my name, and I told him.

15  He then asked me what month it was.

16  I had no idea. I thought it was October.

17  Ever since then I have equated the last few weeks of school with the other-worldly.

18  Wow.

19  I'm already late.

20  This will be a lovingly short DN today.

21  They all used to be this short.

22  Hmmm.

23  More poetic?

24  I'll tell myself that.

25  AnywayZ...

26  I gottago.

27  Things are nutso.

28  I need to go in and enjoy them.

29  I think I just heard a crow caw, "Nevermore!"

30  Guy's a poet.

31  Anybody lookin'?

32  Have a GREAT day.

33  See you again.

~H~
