about

When with my mother I was coming down from the country the day of the hurricane, trees were across the road and small branches kept rattling on the roof of the car.

How old am I? Let's count the rings around my eyes.

There was ten feet or more of water making the parkways impassible with wind bringing more rain in sheets. Brown torrents gushed up through new sluices in the valley floor so that I had to take what I could find bearing to the south and west, to get back to the city. I passed through extraordinary places, as vivid as any I ever saw where the storm had broken the barrier and let through a strange commonplace: Long, deserted avenues with unrecognized names at the corners and in one place a large body of water startled me with an acre or more of hot jets spouting up symmetrically over it.

How dumb am I? Meet me anyplace or anywhere or anytime, meet me tonight. If you would dare, I would dare.

I had no idea where I was and promised myself that I would some day go back to study these sharp corners and turns of intersecting avenues with so little apparent communication with an outside world.

I never did.

Don't count on any of my advice.

Call me on Thursday, if you will.
Or call me on Wednesday, better still.

Why bother where I went?
