“Turning my right hand over, he notices the half-moon-shaped birthmark that no one never notices. "What's this?" he asks. "A pudding stain." He looks like he believes me. "Really?" "No. It's a birthmark." "You're like a painting," he says, "constantly revealing new things." I stare at Frank like he can't be serious, and he laughs and says, "What? It's true!" "The pickup handbook?" I ask. "You can't take everything in to for gospel, but it's amazingly instructive," he says, running his finger back and forth over the café au lait spot.”

“When we love something, we always want more of it, whether it’s good for us or not. This is as true of ice cream and French fries as it is of great books. It’s only natural to wish for more time with our favorite characters, but an essential part of what makes us fall in love with a book is the fact that it ends (something it wouldn’t hurt to remind the heads of Hollywood studios). When there can be no more of something, it makes what already exists more precious and perfect.”

“The Pressure Cooker by Stewart Stafford We arrive at the sweltering park, And disturb a larcenous squirrel, Trash can raider with easy spoils, He scampers away down the back. Solo lady in the gazebo watches, An outdoor Mrs. Bates silhouette, As a tuft of angel hair rolls along, I give the thirsty baby hydration. Transfixed by a burst helium balloon, Rocking itself to the unheard beats, Arid breeze, now ceiling conductor, Our squirrel pal returns to spy on us. © Stewart Stafford, 2022. All rights reserved.”
