Sounds Carry Across the Water
Howie Good


​The ice on the bay is in full retreat. Conditions at night are such that sounds carry across the water. A dog barks insanely as the door to heaven is locked and bolted and God presses a wary eye to the peephole. Just because you don’t know something doesn’t mean you got to act like it’s something not worth knowing. On the latest X-ray my left lung appears to be embedded with fragments of crushed glass. The protein powder wasn’t protein. I struggle to adjust my expectations. We’re at war, and the robots are winning.
