When Julia Golick called,
Sandy told her I was in
in the midst of a workout
on my rowing machine, which was
partly true, but actually
what had happened is that I had
closed my eyes, while rowing
to a reggae beat, it was Jimmy Cliff
I think, and as I pulled I imagined
that I was on a stormy ocean, and
that Burr was calling for help,
so I pulled harder and faster,
hoping I might be able to reach and
save her, as she clung to some piece
of wreckage, but then the workout
was over, and I had failed again.
