Tadpole Husbandry

I look at the book with pictures of New York while Ray transfers the tadpoles to a better container. He's not sure what to feed them. We talk about breadcrumbs but then when I search for information on the internet the Growafrog site says it's important not to feed anything that fouls the water. There are some fatalities in the transfer but many more make it alive into the Schweppes Sodawater bottle with the hole cut in the side.

In the book there's a family in Brooklyn sitting in their swimers on the sidewalk keeping cool under spray from a fire-hydrant. They know how to use cities.

Chris says that there are four episodes in his life that make him feel tight in the chest when he thinks about them.

I pass the mechanic and smell sweet WD40. On the weekend when I drove past the kids soccer game I could smell the sausage sizzle.

Sixty five minutes door to door, and there's haze in the space between me and bridge. Red flags diffused and silver tips on tree leaves. All Fired Up in the supermarket.
