The Whale, Chapter 5

jopomojo ·

2024/11/08

Helga’s watch was supposed to detect Anytime she fell or completely wrecked Her car, or suffered some other calamity, And alert the authorities, but now it was buzzing To tell her a call from her granddaughter Hannah Was coming in, so she hastened back Into the house to find her phone. Hannah, the daughter of the aforementioned Ben, was a brilliant, wild, and well-intentioned But sometimes troubled soul whom Helga Was trying to help get through a stint Of college education in Montana And overcome

The Whale, Chapter 4

2024/11/06

Helga drove a ’97 Buick Skylark that was made in heaven. That’s how she felt about it, anyhow: Cloudy blue and well-traveled, A ding on every corner but nothing Serious, nothing in need of attention. It looked good in the garage’s shadows And was malaise-proof in the midday sun. She popped the trunk and laid the gun Gently in among the bags And blankets and jumper cables neatly Coiled there. What was it Chekhov said? If jumper cables are seen in chapter one A battery must die in chapter two? Such

The Whale, Chapter 3

2024/11/04

Helga’s idea was too extreme, Like reenacting a bad dream, She decided, as she climbed back up And struggled through the gate, Replacing the lock and crossing the lawn, As a pair of squirrels chased each other In spirals up the Lonesome Pine. That was the name she and Joe Had given that tree many years ago When the house had fallen to them After their son-in-law Dan fell asleep at the wheel, And their daughter Liz remarried and left. Liz's due date was approaching when Dan died, So Joe and Helga had

2024/11/03

The idea that came to Helga was oneThat could be dangerous or could be fun But first she would survey her rose garden And the general condition of the yard On this unusually warm first day Of the month of her birth in this year Of fever dreams and election insanities. Leaving her coffee cup half full, Helga followed her inner pull To the back door and out to the lawn. Sebastian the yard guy had been there The day before and as usual Helga Was both pleased with the overall tidiness And annoyed by

The Whale, Chapter 1

2024/11/02

“Getting old is getting old,” she said To herself as she got out of bed. It was the day before her birthday And the day after Halloween, The morning dark and dim and fragrant With stale leaves and the after-odor Of trick-or-treaters and candy wrappers. Helga Caruthers slid her tired old feet Out from under a tangle of bedsheet And onto the cold hardwood floor Of her bedroom. “Gotten old,” she said Out loud to the silence of the house. “Or is it ‘Got Old’?” she said again. “Old as dirt, at any

Our Work Has Only Just Begun

2024/10/23

Our work has only just begun.The chaos to come is real and yet all part of the game. Situation normal, all fucked up — whoever came up with that — “snafu” — a f*****g genius! And now we face the rise of a demented, damaged dolt who has somehow managed to gather a cult of mesmerized mothers against drunken driving to ride off the cliff with him. So, yes, there’s some cleanup to do. It isn’t normal, and yet it is, this snafu we find ourselves in. We are the authors of this book we’re reading, this

In the Middle of This Autumn

jopomojo ·

2024/10/23

In the middle of this autumn that has eased its way into my humming summer, I will hold onto my inner springtime and continue this absurd but sweet work as best I can. Like the sunrise I too arise to ease these lines into life to let the colours of dawn stream from my faltering fingers tapping these keys as the coffee stirs my blundering brain, blundering into obstacles but nonetheless pressing on, taking a deep breath with the sky, feeling my bare feet on the floor, seeing these purple hues
