A good, longtime, friend of mine sent this photo to me – taken from his cellphone. I am in love with it. I haven’t seen my friend in nearly a decade, he smartly left Illinois and has made a life for himself by greater beaches – I’d known him since we were both small, both naive, both hungering for a greater tomorrow and freedom. I think of him often, without heartbreak, as ours is an unspoken commitment of kinship.
This image is from the younger brother I never had. and it’s poem is building within me as we speak…

Today, everything is beautiful.
the weather is beautiful, the sky is beautiful, the hum of the IBM Selectric III is beautiful, Chopin’s Nocturnes are beautiful, my wife is beautiful, my wife is beautiful, and there is nothing else.
