Senses working overtime #160

At Night the Salmon Move

At night the salmon move
out from the river and into town.
They avoid places with names
like Foster's Freeze, A&W, Smiley's,
but swim close to the tract
homes on Wright Avenue where sometimes
in the early morning hours
you can hear them trying doorknobs
or bumping against Cable TV lines.
We wait up for them.
We leave our back windows open
and call out when we hear a splash.
Mornings are a disappointment.

Raymond Carver (1976)

Love his newsletters but he's gone dark for a spell to work on some ideas in his fevered brain. So here's a great picture of the great man to tide us over:



5 Robin Williams



After Margo, this gaze at Robin's last days is even more poignant. Once I started reading this I couldn't stop. Very sad ending!

Overtime: Seth Godin...
