These are some of the original writings that were in this live reading in chicago: amber beads as the flames engulfed my worldly possessions my everything seemed to disappear.
But i did not cry for the loss of the money i cried for the photographs, and the poems, and the amber beads.
I love you, mother, and i love the mother who died while i rested in your womb.
Sandy tells me stories of visiting grandma and eating pickles.
I have learned to love her without ever seeing her face.
For then my existence would keep the love and the caring alive in a kind of living that no strike of a match that no burning building that no mere mortal could destroy.
My date pointed out two little boys walking to their seats in front of us.
In little suits and cowboy boots, this is what is central illinois.
And my date said he was sure those boys would grow up to be gay.
And the worst part was their father was the coach of the high school football team.
I think i laughed, but i hesitated.
And i stayed seated, and everyone else slowly walked to the front of the church.
Little soldiers in a little line, the little children in their little dresses walking behind their mommies and daddies.
Chess game again we all watched the case on the news together, the case where a man on a subway train opened fire on passengers in the car.
Nine people dead, i think.
They caught the man, they had their trial, and by right he could have a lawyer appointed to him.
But no, he wanted to act as his own attorney.
And finally he had no further questions and the judge dismissed the jury to arrive at a verdict.
They found him guilty, and when the judge asked the defendant if he had any last words for the jury, he kept stressing his innocence, and never apologized.
The judge told him he was disgusted.
Most of them sat there trying to keep their composure when faced with a man who lost all control.
They were a pawn in his chess game again.
