4 Miles

written by: Robbie Masso

@robbie.masso

A rut.
A rut lasting 15 plus years.
A rut that a self-made bubble was hidden behind.
a bubble made of fear and familiar faces that I was contained in.

I can’t believe there is a world that I’ve been longing for,
a place I never thought existed,
just miles from my room,
from the pillow I rest my head on
the head telling me the lies of anxiety
of restriction.

Doug Stanfield (Hemmingplay)

“Hemmingplay,” is the pen name of Doug Stanfield, who grew up on a family farm in western Ohio, went with his parents for two years in Karachi, Pakistan, in high school and had lived, until recently, in Bellefonte, PA with his late wife, Wilda and their two sons, Ben and John. Doug was a writer, editor and director of internet communications at Penn State for 26 years. He has had a few disreputable occupations, including newspaper reporter and editor, and public relations flak, but is trying to make amends for his sins by writing poetry and fiction. When his sons were safely off making their own mistakes, he turned on the computer one day, stared at the screen, and began to learn the craft anew at age 67. Doug has published three books: "Mermaid Sisters: First Dive", a children's book; "I Came From A Place of Fireflies" and, "Snowflakes & Ashes: Meditations on the Temporary”.
