7:57 pm - the episode of the squirrel.
|
nathan and i did actually make it
up north before august ended... barely.
we kayaked up top the mio dam on the ausable.
on a tributary, i found a black squirrel
drowning in the river, caught up by a fallen tree's branches.
using my paddle, i rescued it,
and nathan heroically led it across the river
where it so desperately wanted to go.
he placed it on the opposite bank, and it lay there a moment,
then leapt desperately into the brush,
just in case we changed our minds on the prospect of squirrel stew.
every now and then
nathan will lean over and whisper:
'we saved a squirrel!'

6:28 am - time to say goodbye to more friends.
|
we drove a king-sized mattress and its boxsprings
mexican-style from auburn hills to clarkston
on top of our little twodoorfocushatchback
so that charity and joel and lively have a new bed.
lively has stolen my heart.
as if charity didn't already!
nathan and i enjoyed a day of kayaking
on belle isle's putrid canals.
[something no one has done, it seems,
for at least fifty years.]
i still haven't been able to count the bridges.
when we returned home,
i found that someone had purchased
both of the buckles in my pieces of eight series.

11:16 pm - things that try to escape.
|
on our bike ride,
i found a stray bungee cord in the road.
i picked it up and gave it to dad,
who uses them to hold down a tarp on his truck.
he gave it a look and said,
'i'm always suspicious of bungee cords in the road.
they betrayed their masters,
so will they betray me?'

There came a knock at the door."
