Marta’s son turned 21 today.
We all sat on her porch and
Did shots of Jameson and
Talked about Nature -
The Will of Man -
Death -
DNA -
Predestination -
Sexual proclivities -
Melungeons -
Naked, growling men eating the faces of other men -
The superiority of Irish handball to all other sports -
The vagaries of human gestation.
There was thunder from a storm that would not arrive until we were asleep -
Only the dogs were restless, worried, wary -
But we had not offered them shots of Jameson.
