“Elephants puzzling out
the anagram of their own anatomy,
elephants at their abstracted lamentations—
May their spirit guide me as I place
my own sad thoughts in new, hopeful arrangements.”
— A Scattering, Christopher Reed
Gene was the best and closest friend I ever had.
I placed my full faith, trust, and confidence in his hands.
His shattering of what I entrusted him with was the most hurtful thing anyone ever did to me.
Gene Wells is an attempt to acquire the closure that Gene refused to give me.
