I simply ate a fish-head, but fish-heads won’t fillme now. Your attention is a fish-head,so throw it back into my new body, backinto the body climbing the stairs.

I knew I was a grain of sand in the vast desert that never ended and he was a sparkling star in the sky. I was a fish who couldn’t breathe in air and had...

I’m as efficient as a fish ant, I’m as mythical as a productive government employee, and I’m the kind of lover your mother would approve of. Ask her—she’ll tell you how good I am in...

Water is central to Jacksonville, and natives think of rivers as roads. Why, just the other day I was driving on the interstate, and I was being tailgated by a lunatic in a canoe. So...

Narissa, let me take you away to a world that you have never known to exist.
