The Process
For me, poetry strikes like lightning. Fiction, on the other hand, is pure toil. Sometimes, it's the toil of really great sex. Sometimes it's more like playing solo tag with Dick Butkus wearing a Minnesota Vikings uniform and covered in hot dogs. Sometimes you just get Dick, you know?

A Realization
I used to talk to my mom about leaving, always about going somewhere else or
being somewhere else. She always said that the reality is different from the
fantasy. She would know; she did the same thing when she was young.
I asked her once if she would apply for an Italian passport, she could, and if she could I probably could. I had planned on going to Italy for a summer or a year and working. I probably would have stayed for good. She said No.
I realized after she passed away (but never before) that she didn't say
those things to discourage me. She just didn't want me to leave. She never
wanted me to leave, but she would never have stopped me. She never stopped
me.
