SETH ROSENMAN: Grandparents

Artistic, Submissions, , , , , ,

“When your grandfather and I were kids, we walked barefoot to school, uphill in the snow both ways. The school had one room for everyone, from kindergarteners to Talmudic scholars. But what a delight the snow became when we discovered the downhill routes! This was before the war, of course.”

Seth Rosenman writes, but he doesn’t wrong. His writing has appeared in numerous places, and so has he. He can be found sleeping in your hat when Tom Waits isn’t. His dreams are manifested forever at infiniteseth.blogspot.com.

He buckles her into her car seat. “Be right back,” he says.

Leaving the door open, he returns the cart to a nearby stall.

He turns and sees a strange woman talking to her. He shouts, and she quickly walks away. He runs back.

“I can’t tell you,” she says.

His mother says they’re going on errands. If they go to the bank, he’ll get a lollipop; the store, a toy; the market, chocolate. He knows he can’t say no, but he knows what look to give. “You can go back on your computer when we come home,” she says.

SETH ROSENMAN: Flight 575

Artistic, Poetry, Submissions, ,
  1. Departures:
    Airport Express flies,
    tracks my waiting sky; I’m stuck
    on a caesura.

  2. Delay on Arrival:
    Eye the horizon
    from the red light: jammed highway
    and missing starlings.

  3. End of the Line:
    Waves at their crest glimpse
    the receding to soon come
    and crash to dry sand.

SETH ROSENMAN: Ankle Bracelet

“Bracelet’s OK?” Christopher’s probation officer asks.

“Yeah. Beeps in class when I need to charge it.”

“And having to stay in your lane?”

“Fine,” Cristopher says, unsure how to express that restricting his movement helps him see what he missed before. Unsure how to ask whether this is the point.

A nurse came back in after the room was cleared for them, gestured at the remaining machines, and asked if they wanted the sound to be muted. They shook their heads. Alone again, he told her for the first time he’d always hated her whistling. She told him she knew.
