Closing In


Do you recognize this boy sitting with his
mother? Picking through the afterburn. Roaring.
A failed legacy holder. To-Do list: Send
myself a get-well card. I must step away
momentarily. Self-destruction for dummies.
Unfortunately, no one was hurt. The
grass is greener over there. Read the room. Things
don’t always pan out. The expectation is
to be average. Keep the bar low. It makes
me question an honest day’s work. Appreciation
is having my name spelled correctly.
