<p>I meant to return<br />long before this<br />but in looking back<br />we learn too much<br />of loss.<br />I dreaded that.</p>
<p>Now going through the house<br />and my parents’ lives<br />too revealed<br />by what they saved<br />what they left behind<br />for me to find<br />I feel nothing<br />but pain for the past<br />trying to separate<br />like old clothes<br />crumbling in a chest<br />what does not last<br />from what I can keep<br />trying to understand<br />how I fell<br />so short of what I intended<br />to do with my life.<br />How life twists and turns<br />against us. How a childhood<br />is not really understood<br />until it is lived<br />a second time<br />in memory.<br />How wonderful<br />and how terrible<br />it seems now<br />because it is gone<br />and because it was mine.<small></small></p><figure class="wp-block-audio"><audio controls src="https://admin.rattle.com/audio/WeitzmanLooking.mp3"></audio></figure>

My Daughter Calls Me Hag

Algebra

Desert

<p>Whenever I hear a train whistle<br />I think of someone leaving, always<br />leaving, never arriving. This<br />melancholy bent of mind can be<br />traced to high school algebra<br />where we studied problems of time<br />and space: “Two trains leave<br />from depots 107 miles apart.<br />One train travels at a rate of 29 mph<br />while the other at 77 mph.<br />At what point will they meet?”<br />For all I ever understood of algebra<br />the question might have been:<br />“Name the engineer.” So I would drift<br />into a different time and space<br />where real imagined dangers increased:<br />What if these two trains were traveling<br />on the same track and what if the signalman<br />forgot to switch the tracks and what if—<br />Oh, Lord, I’d pray, carried away, please don’t<br />let them collide! This was when the teacher<br />seeing how wide-eyed I’d become<br />would call on me.<small></small></p><figure class="wp-block-audio"><audio controls src="https://admin.rattle.com/audio/WeitzmanAlgebra.mp3"></audio></figure>
