brautigan series two

ping pong
is kind of a metaphor for life
batting a ball back and forth
amongst ourselves.

. . . . . . . . . .

once you've been a two, a between, an us, a pair...
there is no going back

when you wake up alone
you don't get to make anyone else eggs.

. . . . . . . . . .

a letter looks the same
written at 2:00 AM or PM
but a cell phone call
is decidedly different.
The rapid rate of ascension
is weakening the American family,
nuclear and otherwise.
