"  It is the great pleasure of the Books Blog to present new work by Diane Williams, exemplar of the short-form, one of our literary heroes. &amp;quot;The Duck&amp;quot; by Diane Williams It was too early to fuck. This is such a disappointment, so I drank the milk. I finished the milk quickly, and then took a low dosage of the tea\u2014tipping tea out of pot. I lit a lamp, shoved my lips up, nearly blushed in the company of myself. With this sort of blow to my existence I thought of an unrealistic plan of such charm and such honesty\u2014if you don&amp;#039;t mind my saying so, as it were. If you will, I am very unpleasant, frankly. Delmore and Constantine know how unpleasant I am. End my ways? Is it change my ways? Pretty serious balloons were on the floor and stuck behind the divan and through the window I saw a belt of trees. I readied the table to take it back up the stairs. I normally display figurines on it\u2014a bear holding a staff; a man holding a house; a man holding a house standing on another man he&amp;#039;s vanquished\u2014you know, how birds sit on each other. Constantine\u2014one of the finest men I&amp;#039;ll ever know\u2014walked in my direction like a duck who&amp;#039;s wrung himself out. My recommendation to the duck would have been\u2014don&amp;#039;t fly alone and why fly so high. Do the other ducks know you&amp;#039;re out here on your own? Do you even know where the other fucks are? Are you looking for the other fucks? Constantine told me he wanted to repay me for my loving care. Diane Williams is the author of It Was Like My Trying to Have a Tender-Hearted Nature, Romancer Erector, Excitability: Selected Stories, The Stupefaction, Some Sexual Success Stories Plus Other Stories in Which God Might Choose to Appear, and This Is About the Body, the Mind, the Soul, the World, Time, and Fate. She is the editor of the literary annual NOON. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
