------------------------------------ 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’.

At night I wonder out into the back yard and hold an impromptu funeral. I dig hundreds of shallow graves and whisper the dreams I’ve seen into the damp earth. In the morning a forest has grown up all around us. I wander out into it and listen until I hear. There is a bird singing somewhere, off in the distance. I follow its song happily, into the dark heart of the leaves.
