separated at birth
dani made the very astute observation just now that our new friend and fellow 5leaves addict Ben Marra looks exactly like our buddy Chris Swanson. i didn’t believe her, but then she pulled up these two images - take a look for yourself. twins? soul mates? lost swanson brother? you decide.

Amy Andronicus: Tour Diary Day Four: Rock and Roll... →
Midway between Ottawa, Canada, and Ithaca, New York, we stop to buy gas. In the truck stop parking lot, I see an elderly woman getting out of the driver’s seat slowly, limb by limb, the way a jellyfish might squeeze itself through a narrow break in a coral reef. She’s at least 75, and her legs shake slightly as she maneuvers them onto the street, but she still has that kind of awkward languor...

The Best Time of the Day by Raymond Carver
Cool summer nights. Windows open. Lamps burning. Fruit in the bowl. And your head on my shoulder. These the happiest moments in the day. Next to the early morning hours, of course. And the time just before lunch. And the afternoon, and early evening hours. But I do love these summer nights. Even more, I think, than those other times. The work finished for the day. And no one who can reach us...

two poems by Shya Scanlon
Six Miles South You learned something new, and said so. You said something new, and let me learn, and I passed this along, and passed it wider, a broken kind of wideness, a small and splintered thing.
