Pia’s Poem

My memory’s fading. You tell me what’s real. My story began long before my remembrance. My remembrance was as long, as winding as a dirty country road.

Why Do People Get Married?

Karen opened a store about the same time she started going out with Max. That year, she lost so much money and he made so much money they married at the end of December to enable him to save a bundle on taxes, which they split fifty-fifty. Ah! The sweet romance of tax deductions! Decades [...]

Writers: Stick to Your Knitting

I’ve been a knitter almost all my life. I made my first sweater when I was twelve and have kept a project on the go ever since. There’re a pair of needles, purple yarn, and a half-finished vest lying next to my couch as I type this. A lifetime of knitting has ingrained certain lessons [...]
