It Was Sand, He Saw

They couldn’t come up with enough storylines with

the dishes while Karen attends to her papers. While

in the larger context of their restrictive social world,

I remember one evening, as we were sitting on his

doctorate in civil engineering, and took a teaching position,

nothing changed. I hadn't had many friends the year

the stars pop out against a velvet backdrop; a meteor

gives me a rundown of all the things she's told her father

are on to something. While we may not have felt welcome

when he reached the edge of the pool, I turned around and

he pointed into the elephant grass, indicating something unseen.
