he was gaga about finding
appealing quoteslike finding a lost penny on the street or a hunred dollar bill
which he did
though usually chumpchange but any change
makes his day its unexpectedness and the stiff reality that some people are too fat or don care to stoplean over and pickup
wha they dropped trashed
he shared the quote with his
girlfriendfelt it was meant
exactly for her
William Carlos WilliamsWHO?
dealbreaker somebody didnt know who Williams was he didnt want to
know somebody his family was the rare exception
but he could tolerate them probably
because he was first born
had
he been third fourth fifth there
were more
maybe not
but he topped the bill
it was his fault
when he linedup with all the other jamokes like preparing to parachute from a plane he saw over the whaevers shoulder ahead of himsaw who they were getting as parents and behind them
who his parent would be he yanked whaever aside leapt into his parents arms
could hear the cacophonythe outrage behind him but it left his ears when
the deliveryroom light spiked his opaque vision
he knew what the
three of them were getting
the rest of the kids the motley
crew the other eight saidwhen he asked about their birth did they
remember the line did they take what
they gotdid they jump the gunlay back one or two spaces
they didnt know
what the hell he was talking about
Sonofabitch he cut them slack
he was obliged he was the eldest
he texted her
just read a quote by
William Carlos Williams an it immediately reminded me of you, of your distinct
beauty, why you’re so damn attractive to me: Beauty is a defiance of authority
