------------------------------------ There was a large painting of Evel Knievel shaking hands with Richard Nixon. It hung in the Mayors office. Late one evening after everyone went home. I took it down to the lab. I zoomed in on Evel’s left eye a 100x and enhanced it. It was an address. I went to the address. It was a modest, 1970’s style, split level ranch home in the suburbs.
----------------------------------- Inside I found a dead parrot lying on a waterbed. I revived the parrot with some saltines and adrenaline. We became good friends. The parrots name was Randy. One night a few years later while Randy and me played Gin Rummy, he sang me a song about a fire. The title of this blog was never mentioned but I sensed it, and Randy confirmed it by giving me ‘THE LOOK’.

There’s a water canal that runs the length of my house in Florida.
Last night I dreamt that a great white fish swam its waters
When I awoke this morning I went down to have a look
and there it was!
A large white shadow gliding barely beneath the surface.
It turned out to be just an old shopping bag
but as I sit here on the back porch drinking coffee
with eyes closed, soaking up the sun
I can hear it splashing still.
