In Recently Banned Literature, there was a department I called Definitions. Written about a year and a half apart yet clearly related, “Life, A Funny” and “Hurry” are two brief entries from that odd between-the-ears dictionary I fall back on to make up for Webster’s occasional gaps and misunderstandings, while revealing my own.
Life, A Funny
Life? A funny kind of bark, on a funny kind of tree,
and a funny kind of knife, that whittles me.

Hurry
Hurry is the assumption that the moment is beneath you,
and that you will still be here when it ends.
