It’s Going Down Slow

God, damn the hands of glory
That hold the bloody firebrand high
Close the book and end the story
Of how so many of us have died
Let the world retain in memory
That mighty tongues tell mighty lies
And if we all must have an enemy
Let it be our warlike pride

Adam lay on the shore, closed his eyes, and fell into a hazy dream. A piece of driftwood floated nearby, moving in and out with the waves, never reaching the safety of the solid land. A fishing boat passed close enough that he could hear voices. He sat up and wondered if he was still dreaming. No, he wasn’t. But something felt different, something had been removed from him, memories dragged away and dumped where he would never be able to find them again.

A meeting with and exchange student and a college professor, both Extras: “It’s like this, Ms. Furlong. I’m from a town across the border from Northern Ireland. I know, from what you teach, that you understand in detail the political and social chaos of the area’s history but, my God, you Americans know how to take it all to a whole new level…” Her volume increased. “I mean, why don’t you people look in the mirror for a change, study your own history and learn something from it?”

EXTRAS explores and personalizes universal struggles: the love of power vs the power of love, the instinct to control outcomes vs the embracing of impermanence, and always, the quest to be kind to ourselves and others.
