I have been reading Anna Karenina and, in my opinion no one is better at fleshing out characters like Tolstoy.

The Best Part

2026 by Michael Walker

The best part of summer

Was jumping over a sprinkler

Tied to a green hose

In our backyard

And the best part of that

Was a little rainbow

The spray would make

A little rainbow

Seeded there

Among the lilac bushes

And the dog turds

We got to jump

Over and over

Jack Lalanne

Jack Lalanne is here

The man

Who can pull boats around

With his teeth

How big and strong

That is

Bigger and

Stronger

About to pop out

And you're supposed to...

Angry-haired purple viewer

If it suits you

Because I don’t want

Illegal wars

And emoluments

Floating islands

That in the poor world

Would not

Exist…

Go ahead...

I write a page a day

In this simple story

I don’t know

What the ending is

I just

Write forward.

I used to write

In a fever dream

Like St. Paul

Blinded on the road

Now I squint

At street signs

And just

Write Forward.

I don’t know

What the ending is

It may take...
