Poetry is a living, breathing narrative of the thoughts, ponderings, and luggage one carries upon their mind, body, and soul. This volume is a summer to fall of 2018 collection of 28 observational, thought-provoking pieces about a river, stars, a sandwich shop lady, cages and their contents, a yard sale, time and aging, a garden statue, smoke and mirrors, Kant's walks, crowds, window blinds and maps, conversational math, forward propagation, a former self, Atlas-like carry-ons, epiphany, a pick-up truck's perception, the dead's nametags, 2018's landscape, scratch offs, a pool player, what makes us human, the math of humanity, the ophidiophile, life as a sweeper, people on fire, and Chief Netawatwees' new town statue, and paternal strength from a hospital bed. One will also be glad to know that the yard sale "today" is still in full swing, and redefining the limitations of how long "today" can be.
