Roget's Illusion (2014) - Plot & Excerpts

• Watched iron filings bristle a magnet.
    • In his father’s shop, watched an axle’s tip sag over an anvil.
    • Loved the Fens.
    • Loved Virgil’s words on young vines, their trellis of elms in the nursery field.
    • Considered life as a clockmaker.
    • Considered life as a blacksmith.
    • Loved, on his mother’s table, the candle-powered carousel, how the colts floated up on their tiny fobs as the heat rose.
    • Wrote with pencil in a leather-bound notebook: “Soap bubbles.” “Balloon.”
    • Wrote: “Refer to the last lecture.”
    • Wrote: “Respiration and its analogy to the burning of a candle.”
    • Considered Virgil’s vines, transplanted.
    • Considered the empty elms, each knife-notched to show where the vines once faced.
