Premium Member Meeting our New Neighbor
Where would she be? We asked her dad. Wait. It’s her husband; his name is Chad. He’s much older than she, fifty at least. Where is our neighbor, young Charise? She came to the door wearing curlers galore. Oh look, she said, it’s the new neighbors next door. She was holding a puppy, swinging silver hoops too. Let’s see, you are Jane,...

On Returning Leftover Peppermint to My Neighbor
Digestion liquesces peppermint. I chew the leaves for both of us, an aftertaste when stillness is an afterthought. Dust gleams like the raised plastic on a debit card. Winds seem to bank and then burst through a window in a venetian blind-slatted sunshine; bars slit across you on the floor. Strangers make front entrances where shoes scuff the rug. The briefest, jagged arcs...

Boomerang
As we consider others With more than a few objections Can we unveil Our own masked reflections? As we review our brother With an exaggerated disdain Can we become cognizant Of the true source of our pain?

A Radiant Neighbor
Kim commandeers hallway sockets in her high-rise with a microwave to reduce her electric bills: frozen dinners cooked outside her apartment.
