“History”
Everyone’s past,
present & future are dust
in a Holocene sandstorm.
When the epic gusts
rest at last,
our histories will be recast
in slapdash ways: the East
& the West
will overlap with Arctic icecaps.

I enjoyed the hefty, 410-page volume immensely…it reads a bit like a greatest-hits collection, and like greatest-hits collections, it serves as a perfect introduction to the author.
According to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, there are 254 million passenger vehicles registered in the United States, making it likely that you’ll be in a car accident at some time in your life. Having driven for ten years, I myself have been in five accidents, which I hope satisfies my lifetime quota. Granted, two of the mishaps were before I was 15, so I am unsure whether they count. One came before kindergarten, so I know that one doesn’t count. It came before I could reach the pedals or read the owner’s manual.
I caused my first car accident when I was 2 years old.
