Nature Behind Bars: Springing!


If you spend a lot of time crossing the country, if you spend years and years traveling, sometimes you just want to sit at home and stare out the window, past the fire escape. Sumer is icumen in, but before that: Spring!

A Note on My Typewriter


We take a typewriter with us on the road cross country. We take it into the motel rooms for postcards, for making excellent faxes, for fun, if I am awake enough to see or too coffee-ed up. A dream: to carry-on the typewriter, to take it up in a plane, to pull down the seatback tray and begin banging away, another kind of Mile-High Club. We probably don't have the nerve.
