Yes, Arnold is on that long and winding road to, perhaps not recovery, but to a brave new world.

Arnold may always feel strange or even still ill. But taking a little stroll to visit his friends’ jewelry shop despite terrible midday heat? To me, he has achieved, if only briefly, perfect mental health.

Dear Editors,
You’ve published two of poems recently which called ”Tale” and ”At the priory” and they are translated from Persian into English by Dr Abol Froushan. Unfortunately you forgot to put my translator’s name under these poems. Please improve them as soon as possible.
Regards

Spoken like a secular saint yourself, dear Grasshopper!

Far less illumination than this has conferred sainthood on many a believer’s namesake. The interlude with Elektra might give the (official and original) Devil’s Advocate the podium for awhile. But overall, lighting Jesus’s cigarette should trump an everyday fall from grace. And having a saint hail from Olney would, I’m sure, call out to multitudes among the lapsed.

I have always looked on a messy bedroom as a sign of a transcendent spirit.

I missed this one. After Arnold and Elektra have such good sex that Jesus gives His approval I wanted to check out his first encounter with her. The dialog among these new-found friends rolls along full of pleasure for everyone, the reader especially.

Moving, beautiful, and funny. Transcendence, sex, and Jesus.
And, Arnold had never seen such a messy room.
