I'm parked for the night in some camping spot - I don't even know exactly where. I couldn't go home. Not tonight. The ringing in my ears is bad - I played my music too loud again; but the rain helps to drown it out. Sleep comes in 10 to 15 minute spurts.
Went fishing today with my, for now, brother-in-law. He catches a pike and throws it in the back of his truck. I don't catch anything. We talk - about everything, and nothing at all. He's going to school to be a life coach - he'll be very good at it. I can tell just by penetrating depth of the questions he asks. To answer some of his questions I have to become an archeologist, excavating long forgotten memories buried inside the sands of my mind.
We hear coyotes - they're close. He says they work together in packs to hunt; they're smart. I say all animals are - except that pike; it was dumb as fuck. It must have heard me as it thrashes violently, ineffectually, against the rusted out tailgate. I say the pike just wants to go home. Wayne makes a crass joke - "he is, just not his." Suddenly I understand that poor fish. We're both out of our element and neither of us can go home - the only difference is, I'm behind the wheel....
