Sinister: stories that go nowhere

[Bron]

dear sinister

i've run out of cabernet and am feelin quite 
sober on this cooler midwestern afternoon.  a 
couple friends and i meandered up to lake 
michigan hoping that perhaps as the day somer-
saulted on by the wind would take a breather and 
let us run freely, flinging our arms in 
helicopters of liberation.  but no.  the wind 
protested in chilly violence that it would stay 
put.  so instead of running around in over-
exaggerated leaps of youth, we laid out our 
towels and blankets, zipped up our cardigans, 
and fell asleep for minutes on end.  it wasn't 
exactly "fun in the sun" (at least it was 
sunny), but it made do...we got off campus, that 
was the point.  the heated sand sifted in and 
out of my toes like a good massage.  the message 
of the less-than-motivated waves of the lake let 
me know that it's fine.  'it' was not exactly 
defined, but 'it' was fine.  and i nodded with 
squinted blue eyes of lazy fatigue.

that's all i wanted to say.
