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



14, 6, 8, 3 and 2...

Painted.
dry, mostly.
Weathered but able.
A small cut in the joint.
Recovery usually laughed at.
Fourteen, six, eight, three and two.
Letters retained and neatly sorted by size and weight.
Leopold the Insane folding his coat over the bannister in the foyer.
