First Monday of Every Month at the Pineapple Inn

It was more than a craving for something sweet, more than relief for an unreachable itch. We needed regular surrender to something beyond everyday compromises and concessions, something beyond day-to-day responsibilities and obligations, desperate to be somewhere we didn’t need to be, embracing someone we had no business being with.

Narrative Chess

Sometimes people who know a little about my childhood ask, “How did you survive all of that and still end up OK?”


I take their inquiries to mean they suspect I should be significantly more damaged than whatever degree they judge me to be. Which makes me wonder if they appreciate how very seriously fucked up I am?


So I asked a close friend, a Buddhist monk, his opinion: How broken do you think I am, seriously?


And straightaway, in less time than an eye blink, he said: That’s the wrong question, my friend. Play nice. It’s still your turn.
