Jed was dodging the draft so we lived in Canada where they pay for everybody’s medical care. So we both went to a doctor and got diet pills. Two-tone green capsules. Man, were we buzzed. We’d drop a couple hits of speed then smoke hash.

I haven’t always been this big. That’s pretty funny, huh? After all, no one is born weighing 300 pounds — and that was last time I climbed on ye olde scales of justice. Must have been six months ago. I avoid scales and full-length mirrors.

Past Goshen Road,
Bare branches stretch
In rust lace against white hills and
Puzzle-piece clouds
Edged in raw light.
I remember now
How I pushed you away,
How I needed my freedom.
What did I know about love 40 years ago?

A post this morning reminded me of Lawrence Ferlinghetti's poem "Christ climbed down" from “A Coney Island of the Mind.”
