wheelbarrow.
andrew killawee is a canadian tv producer who recently had his wheelbarrow stolen and he announced this with a sign outside of his home: “BRING BACK MY WHEELBARROW.”
a few days later, the sign had changed: “THANK YOU FOR BRINGING BACK MY WHEELBARROW.” apparently tersely worded demands for stolen property, in rural canada, lead to results. and results lead to politely worded replies.
all of this might have gone forgotten—a brief, humorous tale of small-town crime, one among many brief, humorous tales of small-town crime that happen in small towns across the world—if it hadn’t been for twitter, where an acquaintance of killawee combined the hand-painted signs into a single tweet.
her tweet went viral, and he later noted his regret at not being more fluent with the service. “well it took a lot of hard work, but I think I can now retire. thanks to my friend for really making the big push here … i’ll learn twitter one of these days.”

lost time.
coming across these stairs
in the middle of the woods
wondering what they once led to
and how much time has been lost
since they led anyone there?

useful.
“i’ve about decided that’s the main thing
that separates happy people from the other people:
the feeling that you’re a practical item,
with a use, like a sweater or a socket wrench.”

ride along.
we pulled up at the same time
right next to each other
i got out
his family got out
he stayed in
we looked at each other
i said hello to him
his mom said
he insists on
riding along
on every journey
and refuses
to get out of the car
until they all get home
once again
he just loves to ride.
