Today I Am Not Such A Hero As Yesterday
Kristin BirdI do not remember the fishtank blinking
above the couch in the living room.It was surely lighted because of the hour.
I do not remember the material
of the blanket. I don't remember the hour.I do not remember daybreak.
Neither of us were crazy,no crazier than the other
or anyone else. I only remember relief
that needed no convincing.The fish (Faulkner's fish, the small kind,
disinterested, named) was almost as huge
as ourselves.I am amazed by all I do not remember.
We are pulled through the eye of the fish,
one tragedy after another.
