SCENES OF H-TOWN: Bum on a street corner, on a median at a busy intersection with a cardboard sign. Some callous ignoramus flicks a five out their window, and the bum jumps into traffic, getting killed for $5. Whether the man was crack-laden or starving for what $5 worth of food could do for his immune system in this cold weather, the newspaper article the perpetrator reads about it the next day in the newspaper doesn’t care, and neither does the unknowing reader. Just one less piece of human litter has fallen through our great society’s many cracks. It was then I decided to leave the city for a while.

Nic is the Avatar
Freed from the confines of mortal life, Nic lives in a dream world of his own making.
Will it be heaven or hell?
Digging through his past
Subconscious spelunking
From which he wakes
Occasionally
Just long enough
To give Xander hope
And cryptic messages
Riddles
Poems
Mostly nonsense
Impossible to interpret
But still, Xander must hope
His friend can wake
From his comatose fugue
In a world just like this one
Just left of what we call reality
An alternate dimension
He’s a free agent
Free to wander
The world
And beyond
Bringing back news
From abroad
Some good
Mostly ambiguous
A few deeply troubling
And so Gargoyle is born
Re-born
Like a ghostly Phoenix
From the past
A shitty little office
In a dive-y part of town
Old school
Musky smell
And a basement full
Of files
Horrors
Committed to paper
Enough to make anyone
Crazy
But Xander knows crazy
They’re on a first-name basis
