mazeways

ponderosa pines, douglas-firs, yews, spruces, and incense-cedars. stands of maples large and small. snowberries and blackberries. sheets of rippling purple cups and pencil-thin orange caps. a hundred blackbirds heralding the arrival of a change in the season. cattails in wetlands and herons and egrets. lonesome train horns and lonelier white flags between plots of flat, grassy land.

the brittle plastic shell on the hard body of the refrigerator crackles beneath you. it doesn't come to you. you remember it was something warm, though, a kind of name that reminds you of... of... is it... no, it's not quite there. you pass the pipe back.

can you ask? is that a thing you can do when...? oh, right.
you're best friends.

"what's your name?"
