  1. Tumbleweed

    The knife twists
    inch by inch
    carving flesh out
    while I watch
    unfeeling
    while the blood flows

    in flashes of fragments
    fleeting omens
    with no voice
    or meaning

    Just a flutter
    of raven wings
    laughter rings
    across the wasteland
    where all

    He can taste his blood
    An' blood never lies

    I have my moments when I wonder exactly what is going on with the minds of our customers. We do get our share of the odd and outré.

    Take, for example, our first customer ...

    Where was I before?
    Ah, right, a lot to say then. Okay, where to start?
    Most recent first.
    Last week guess who escaped 3 times? Yes, Rocky. First 2 times his owner came to get him (his real owner, the older son, but when my neighbours complained to him about the dog he said it wasn’t his and it was “theirs”, he gestured in my direction but I think he was gesturing through me to his house because there’s no way that dog is mine and they know it, and that he was just coming to

    This one is answering...

    "Programmed into the human soul is a preference for the near and familiar and a suspicion of the remote and abstract."

    Is that true, in your opinion?

    Do you, like Thomas Jefferson, prefer the local and the familiar? Or do you like the efficient and the widespread?
