No. 30, “ – on pretending that – ”. A half-enclosed payphone outside, on a sidewalk, the metal shelf of it and blinds overwritten with exuberant blue graffiti, and black graffiti scrawled over the face of the phone itself, none of it terribly legible. The handset dangles loose from its jointed metal cord, the earpiece of it somehow broken off and gone. The phone books’s still attached to its bracket. Little yellow leaves litter the concrete beneath it.

No. 23, “ – the thin ice – ”. A lit-up sign hung in otherwise featureless darkness, red with a narrow yellow border, and a thick blue border about that, and a stylized yellow hand held up, fingers crossed. Oregon Lottery, it says, and the little circled R of a registered trademark.

Vol. 2, The Dazzle of Day. The sun rises bright but indistinct behind icy clouds over a fog-bound river, girdered bridgework crossing it to the right there, to lose itself in the haze before reaching the other side, and tiny trees lining this side, weirdly sharp against the water gelid and still. Low riverfront buildings below, a hotel, perhaps, some old brick-walled offices, all still bluely dimmed despite the rising brightness.
