Congratulations to my brother and my sister-in-law, who just had their wedding ceremony on Saturday. (They eloped a year ago.) While I wish happiness for them both, I swear if they make me an uncle I will bring down a terrible unholy wrath upon them.

I can hear the cars out on the highway like the purling of a thousand thousand low growling voices drowned under the sound of my bright late night television. Santa Maria I miss your breath on the water, Santa Maria where have you gone?

red headed and freckled, the curve of his belly makes my mouth water
gaunt grandfatherman in brown and and tight cinched belt drinks iced tea
pink and black girl reading magazines, legs crossed and sitting cross-wise
dark-skinned mother drinking dark-skinned drinks, baby in her lap and bright pop-up book
sitting at the corner table, trying not to stare, running fingers through my hair
