Copper Plumbing

by Ulf Wolf ...

This never happens to plumbers.The plumber's world makes sense. It's all about water and gravity and slanting pipes. You channel the water in, you channel it back out. You slant the pipes earthward a little. Not much, just enough for the water to head in the right direction. Gravity does most of the work.Mine is not a plumber's world and my world makes no sense. Marie is on the floor and my ... Read more

Killing Myself

by Ulf Wolf ...

I attempted suicide in 1965. I wasn't very good at it.For one, while I have since learned that the lethal dose of regular 75 mg aspirins lies on the far side of 500 tablets, I attempted my lethal feat with 121 of the little darlings (yes, I kept a tally).For two, I did lose my nerve late that fatal afternoon, and alerted my dad to my Bayeresque overindulgence.This is not to say that this was not ...

Surprise

by Ulf Wolf ...

Before the beginning of time there was no such thing as surprise.By the way, by the "beginning of time," I mean the beginning of this time, the one that we're now busy living and dying and doing things in, the one we're currently complaining about. There may well have been other times, you understand—there quite likely were, in fact—with their own beginnings and endings and complaints, but our ... Read more

Awake

by Ulf Wolf ...

When Thomas Boyer, Jr., the richest and most powerful man in all the land, detected that public consumption in all provinces had leveled out and showed no signs of breaking through what appeared a consumption ceiling, he sponsored a study to find out why. In fact, he sponsored many.Surveying messengers were sent far and wide and they, as charged, took the consumption pulse of every province and ... Read more

Written on Oak

by Ulf Wolf ...

There is a visual suggestion. Not much more than an unexpected movement of the air, a fluttering in the corner of his eye.Perhaps not even that—it was more like a barky whisper as he strode past the old tree on his left, a gentle tap on his shoulder that didn't register for a few more steps: words, it said, words carved here in this bark.At that he stopped and turned. He looked back, then up; took ... Read more

The Mother Ship

by Ulf Wolf ...

"You don't really exist, do you?""Well," he said, pulling at his long beard with a gnarled little hand, his booted little feet barely reaching the edge of the seat and showing dark leather soles scratched and patterned by years and miles, "that depends on who's looking."He didn't exist, of course. Couldn't.Still, as if to humor the hallucination, I asked, "Can I touch you?"He hesitated, but after ... Read more

The Buddha Said

by Ulf Wolf ...

It is a painting of a Yeats poem, a canvas of a dark night where, in a star-lit glade, he wishes for the cloth of Heaven. And yes, this cloth are many stars.She, watching the painting, can see them spread before her, but she of the picture does not see these stars and she treads on the starry cloth. His cloth. His dreamed cloth. For he dreams this cloth, and she treads on his dreams and she does ... Read more

A Larry Comes

by Ulf Wolf ...

Tell me, what good is it to have God visit you if you can't tell anybody about it? Or, if not God, then somebody looking very much like him, or how I had pictured him. Perhaps, to be safe I should call him god, you know, lower case "g."No, that won't do. There's no escaping it: it was the Almighty all right, our capital "G" Father-of-the-Son God. I don't think there's any doubt about it. Let me ... Read more

To Boil a Manchild

by Ulf Wolf ...

I am Kurr. I am young at seven hundred seasons.I am not yet wed, I have caught no manchilds, and the mountain thinks me odd.But as with many things, when I sit to think on this I see that what is seen as odd is often seen through odd-seeing eyes and that is what I tell myself, that I am not so odd perhaps as the mountain thinks I am, and this I sometimes tell my father and sometimes tell his ...

Miss Buddha

by Ulf Wolf ...

The Bodhisatta Setaketu saw that the time had now come.After a nearly uncountable span in the Tusita Heaven awaiting his destiny, awaiting his return to the little blue planet so far below, how could he know that now was the time?Because, far below, man had begun once again to ask meaningful questions. Because nearly incessant war and slaughter had finally begun again to subside, and the northern ... Read more

Mating Strike

by Ulf Wolf ...

I think of myself as Fennel, that is my name, but those in the white coats—researchers, they call themselves—refer to me as "120112A" after my birthday (the First of December, 2012). The "A" means that I was the first of the litter to be born (out of the gate, as it were) that day—my three siblings, emerging right after me—second, third, fourth—are known, in the same researcher dialect, as ...

Of Trolls

by Ulf Wolf ...

Then the old cobra rearranged himself on the stage, settling in for the telling. The three monkeys in white returned and sat down by his side.Beside us Mandar and Manini also sat down, easing into comfortable lotus. A restful silence now settled on the large hall.Then he began."Hanuman's oldest son was blessed with an outstanding memory. This is the story he told, and for which he in turned ... Read more
