The Man Who Flew

Nov 15, 2006 15:47

He is going to fly tonight at sunset off the roof of his office building. His arms will become wings when he spreads them and he will soar south where the geese have gone, north where Santa Clause lives and then, finally, east where wars are waged on mountains of sand. He has seen his future in the sky and he knows he can do it.( He has told everyone he knows; his boss, his cat, his mother, the homeless man on 76th Ave. “You should come,” he tells his girlfriend the morning of his flight, as she puts her bright red lipstick on in the bathroom’s mirror. )

I don't think I ever told you this, but your writing has more emotion and beauty to me than most of those "classics". I'll be very mad if you're not published one day.

If only your view was A) my view and B) everyone else's view, then maybe I would get published.
