“I turned and headed for home, my cheeks burning in the brisk wind. A drunk was someone to be reckoned with, someone interesting and far-gone. I should have been alarmed and ashamed, should have considered joining all those chain-smokers in church basements – I knew what I was supposed to feel. But the sunlight covered the street with the clear healthy gold of ale, the brownstone faces were burnished the toast-warm color of bourbon in candlelight,the air was clear and lively as gin, and something leapt in me, a persistent little flame of self. Drunks didn’t set themselves apart, didn’t look down on anyone – they sat shoulder-to-shoulder with everyone in the bar, awash in fellow-feeling, the roar of the surf in their heads so loud it made time stop, washed away everything except whatever was right here, everyone bobbing together on a sweet, warm flood of oceanic feeling. It could either drown or sustain you, depending.”
– In The Drink, Kate Christensen
“I unwrapped one of the frozen lasagnas and stuck it into the toaster oven to bake, then popped open the champagne and took a few swigs. This reminded me of William, which gave me an intense pain in my sternum that radiated outward in spokes like a red-hot bicycle wheel.”
– In The Drink, Kate Christensen

=============================================
“Cigarette”
Fred Jones was worn down
from caring for his often
screaming and crying wife
burning the day but
He couldn’t sleep at night for fear that she
In a stupor from the drugs that didn’t
ease the pain would set the house ablaze
with a cigarette.
A Long Run
