THE HIDDEN TRACK

The following passages are dedicated to Leopold, to the vernacular, to certain evil women (you know who you are), to certain wonderful people(they know who they are), to soft afternoons and quiet Sunday evenings, to Fall and seeing your breath for the first time since Spring, and to Isabelle Ya Feng ... a soul slipped by like two ships passing in the still, moonlit sea.
-- Abraham Ahmed, the Surfing Beatnik



Becoming...


I was born an outcast in this societal flux. I ran against the torrent and was swept as a nuisance. I ate at the steps of the powerful and was hungry after each ideration.

My name is Harper and I am lost on my own path that I myself once established.

Elain wrote me a letter a few months ago and explained herself thoroughly. She examined each one of her fail-points and made every attempt to cover the uncovered and truth the lies. I read it over and over and over and yet...yet I still could not quite fathom that fact that her rational meant that I had damaged the core.

I folded the letter carefully and placed in in a box with the others.

It wasn't her fault at all but mine. I knew this to be true from thevery moment. Life hurts and thus induces shameful amounts of hurt upn each one of its riders.

Solitude: Your perils are a burden to my senses.
