Miracle! Linda
(her grief at Toby’s passing
second only to
mine) got a good job!
Like us Linda had come here
from the East Coast be-
lieving in magic.
Shit happens, terrible shit.
Time passes. At last
Linda has steady work.
Just across the interstate.
Overlook! And as
the job becomes a god,
the wild disproportionate
shall refresh Linda.
