Charles. Dover, Ohio.

There ain’t a lot to do in this town/You drive down to the lake and then you turn back around. —Steve Earle, “Someday.”

So many islands, so much rowing/with invisible oars against the current! —Tomas Tranströmer, “The Indoors is Endless”

What brings you to the McDonald’s today?

I just come in here a couple times a week for my supper.

You’re from around here?

That’s right. I live just outside of town. I’ve never really been anywhere else.

What do you do for a living?

I don’t do nothin’. I used to run a high lift over at the brick factory in Sugar Creek, but I retired in 1999.

Do you have any interesting hobbies?

No, I don’t suppose so. I’m pretty set in my ways. I got a lot of grass to mow, and I do a little work around the house. I grew up on a dairy farm, and there was always so much work to do that I never learned to do much else.
