@markmanson 90 minutes on subway each day + meditating gave that space. People thought I was sleeping. It was the opposite.

It was 1995 and in pre-internet Toronto, something remarkable was happening: The High Park Little League team was headed to the World Series.

As some of you know, the Canadian poet and fiction writer Steven Heighton died recently. I wish more U.S. readers knew his work. More poems of his here soon. In the meantime, here's "Ballad of the Slow Road," from Patient Frame (2010).
