Safety Dancing for the Recovering Arsonist

[Brad Rose]

A short prose poem-like object appears at the Molotov Cocktail.

It's more than six, but not much more.

You're invited to dash over there and take a look.

Of course, if you're friends with anyone on the Noble prize committee, I don't think it would be a violation of ethics to put in a good word for me there.

Much obliged.

Thanks Bill for reading this little surreal piece.  I must admit I like this one, although I don't know from where it came.  Sorry to hear you don't have an open line to the committee in Sweden.

That's a fantastic piece of work, Brad.  Each word perfectly chosen.  And lots of layers: aging, solitude, simple joys.  I really enjoyed it.

I only dance when I'm alone, or trying to cheer someone up--my footwork inevitably provokes a sort of groaning laughter.

And the Noble people have long since blocked my number.
