Talk to you tonight, I wrote this morning, knowing it would only be the afternoon where you are, will be, whole neighborhood still wrapped in a tule fog that won’t let up—so you reported before supper                        while I slept. I almost wrote this afternoon instead, taking your point of view, dissolving into it— but then imagined you half-awake, and irked, into my future/current noon texting for clarification.            Copyright © 2015 by Nate Klug.

For a little while, she was out there before me. The displacement allowed for a kind of imaginative transference—to a point, at least.” —Nate Klug   Nate Klug is the author of Anyone (University of Chicago Press, 2015).
