For unknown reasons, sneezes violently rack my entire body, causing me to spasm wildly and onlookers to gasp in astonishment and disgust. Would probably have been more appropriate. At first I thought this guy was a clumsy dork, but now I realize he's probably just some cool dude who likes The Shins! But he has a point. Throughout history, people who have lost or broken their glasses have been ridiculed and abused. Perhaps the most famous is Piggy from. Lord of the Flies. Lord of the Flies. 8221; I still ...

GlennPhillips: April 2012

http://glennphillips.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html

Friday, April 6, 2012. Central Park, New York. The prancing horses of Central park. Are bridled and broken like. The immigrant men who drive them. Their shoes , appropriate for the late. Century, are anachronistic on. Their dress, uncomfortable and unclean, have too many bells and buckles. They are scenery along with the blooming crab apple,. The windblown lake, the British tourists. They are dead, you know? The geese and their plastic feathers? He came here to be model. Of friends at the beach or a.

GlennPhillips: September 2012

http://glennphillips.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html

Tuesday, September 25, 2012. Eternity is not grains of sand. Ce n’est pas. Leaves or ants or hydrogen atoms. It is the unquantifiable quantity. L’asymtote de nos âmes. The ways that water can pass. Les chemins des vents a travers le forêt. She is a piece of water. An unwashed apple, a. Blue and spinning star,. A ribbon tied without. Hands, a book with only one word. She is a candle, an origami. Flame, all white and red and. Heavy bread, burned. She is a cup of sand,. A balloon, sewn into the stitch.

GlennPhillips: Developmental Mathematics

http://glennphillips.blogspot.com/2013/01/developmental-mathematics.html

Thursday, January 17, 2013. I teach developmental mathematics. In the 1990s we would have called it. Remedial. In the 1790s we would. Have called it cutting edge. My students are the leftover students. I teach the prom queens who no longer. I teach the tattooed. I teach the veterans. Who hold their pencils like detonators. My students are non-traditional students,. Students who have nine to fives,. Students who leave my evening class. And stock the local Wal-Mart until. Was done alongside puberty. What t...

GlennPhillips: Our Fathers

http://glennphillips.blogspot.com/2013/01/our-fathers.html

Tuesday, January 29, 2013. We are not our fathers. With their apple throats. We are not our fathers. With their thick tongues. We are not the young. Men they were,. The sons of Vietanm. We are not their. Looking up as Americans. We are not the social. We are not reckless. We are not our fathers,. But we are their shadows,. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Robert Milton Sea II.

GlennPhillips: December 2011

http://glennphillips.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html

Friday, December 30, 2011. Atlanta on a Thursday. I don't recognize the language. It falls from his tongue like. Gumballs or pebbles. The words. Are round and smooth and. Collect at his feet. He is unusually tall, and his. Ankle high boots undermine. He is Starbucks and twelve. We're both heading to Cincinnati. My transfer has been cancelled. His, I'm sure, is right on time. There are rabbits in downtown Dusseldorf,. Small coveys that pour out. Onto well-manicured parks after the. Gates have been locked.

GlennPhillips: September 2013

http://glennphillips.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html

Friday, September 20, 2013. They told me to prepare. My heart; so, I bought. A store brand marinade. And 7 bell peppers. I made an incision just beneath. The ribcage, reached into. My summer garden of a chest. And plucked it like an heirloom tomato. I set it on the drain board. And covered it with cumin. I sliced it into 14, quarter inch slices. I put them in a bowl,. Added my father’s Polish herbs. And soaked them in the marinade. My heart is now in the fridge. Beside a jug of milk. Spoke secret words of.

GlennPhillips: Diana Nyad

http://glennphillips.blogspot.com/2013/09/diana-nyad.html

Thursday, September 12, 2013. She drank water no tongue. Has touched, above orcas. And eyeless lobsters. She. Saw sun sink in water that. Was warm then cold, that. Opened like a grave, that. Spoke secret words of. Regret and retreat. She held. Two countries in white. Hands She pushed and pulled. Her way to Florida. Her heart. Is full of jellyfish, her skin. A soft legume. When I am. Old and grey and barely. Awake I hope I have the. Strength to say "The sea. Waits for me." I hope I. Have the strength to be.
