Title:
Edit box size: ⇓ More rows Reset to default size ⇒ More columns "Slip" by Amorak Huey The way a stranger slips up to your eight-month-old in the instant you leave her to carry the clothes to the car, knowing you have left that instant unguarded but for Christ's sake you can barely carry the hamper. The way you slip a love letter from a woman in another state between the pages of your book when your wife walks in. The way a cartoon oaf slips on a banana peel. The way time slips away in the morning and suddenly you're late and sorry but sorry doesn't make you on time. The way you almost call the wrong name. The way the sun slips and drips in the afternoon window and lulls you to sleep. The way her voice, her eyes, her face, her flesh slip around you like a net, draw you in until you forget who you are. This is a minor edit.
