The lone ranger eats

9/27/2017

​How do you eat when alone? I like to ride side-saddle in a dining chair, gazing out at the wild horizon, whipping my fork into a fury of tiny circles that might just lasso an elusive memory or fling a carrot faster than the speed of light.

LYSANDER: I have a widow aunt, a dowager
Of great revenue, and she hath no child,
And she respects me as her only son;
Her house from Athens is remov'd seven leagues,
There, gentle Hermia, may I marry thee,
And to that place--
HERMIA: Hold on. Back to your aunt. We need to talk.
LYSANDER: She's a dowager of great revenue.
HERMIA: Lysander, she's a chicken.
LYSANDER: A Polish chicken. There's a big difference.
HERMIA: So we're getting married in a chicken coop.
LYSANDER: Look, it's nice. I'm telling you. It's seven leagues from Athens. You'll love it when you get there.
HERMIA: Nope nope nope nope nope.
And scene!

I’m not a sleepwalker, but I do apparently check my junk email in the middle of the night while half asleep.
Who is Cathy J. Burke and why does she have a gift for me? CLICK.

    My name is Nasreen Yazdani.   I used to write micro essays, one-liners, and other small, lighthearted things. Most of them were funny.  

    Now I'm working on a book of stories.  The emotional range is... wilder.
