Black tar once poured down my childhood street. Icicles grew from my gutter. Someone once told me I’m a narcissist. Someone just told me, “You have the best logic.” I once saw a snow owl fly through the night. God likes to play hide-and-seek. A lion once roared two feet from my nose. Electrocution wouldn’t be a bad way to go. Sammy Williamson once turned me down four times in a day. I’m twenty-eight, and I’ve had two weddings. A Blackfoot-tribe shaman once blessed me. I’ve broken every oath I’ve made to God. I once watched a seagull eat a pigeon. Ocean waves remind me that life's salt is clean. A tortoise once walked in front of my car. Tomorrow I will sleep— I will forget my dreams like I once swore I’d never do, not while I lived, anyway.
