From the Inside Flap

A mist comes down to street level. Haloes are coming, with cruciform glare. A pair of basket-ball shoes hangs from a wire. The hour should be blue but it's only deeper grey. Behind me, Mexi-can music is playing. Melissa and Eric are finish-ing supper, I'm done with mine. A lighted bus has just gone by and sunk to a stop at the red light, where it idles and exhausts. I can feel the mist on my face. You find yourself back in your life for a moment. Once again, it's right where you are.
