The haze stank of cedar, and I realized it was smoke, the choke of ash in the thickening air; wide the fire, wild eyed, winding the rise around me.
So that when the nearest pine fell, bore through by burn or depredation I was snapped from the story’s trance and the new forest was entirely a blaze, the tree tops now a horizon of fire.
I stood to flee fire and foe, but tripped,...

I was a husk of thirst, adrift in the dancing flood of that rustling, unincorporated voice, as it upended the vessel of some old story of a journey across the ocean.
The song was of strife behind and blood’s struggle ahead, a parable pinned transfixed between two shifting poles, and I was caught in the conflict of currents as images crashed into me, and the din of metaphors...

This crater—wound round a central post now shattered, splayed in disarray behind me—my dear, this crater was empty, but far from silent.
Two hundred thousand feet once beat this stone bowl down and some thrum of that distant din still haunted the taut drum-head of the valley floor.
Or maybe it was merely the wind. Merely the wind, and not these two voices— a woman...

Don't play untuned pianos.
A friend of mine is the daughter of a musical composer. At some point, when she was a kid, their piano had been sitting untuned for a few months. She sat down at it, placing a hunk of salami she’d been gnawing on on one of the baby grand’s little shelves at the side. She played a few greasy notes, and her dad came running in.

Hi, YouTube-
I had a video posted of a sabong match in the Philippines. “Sabong” is cock-fighting, and I believe I’d marked the video as possibly-offensive/adult or whatever the indicator was… It’s been up there for a year or two, and I just (unexpectedly) got an email saying I’d received a warning re: violating community guidelines. One warning. Fair enough....
