There are those who only have their name to give as thanks. Have you seen a two year old boy hand his papa an orange peel?
That is what I remember, and Barry's eyes, too, oddly sweet, gleaming with oil, glazed and losing. Admitting with his palm, thirty of the filthiest cents I have ever seen, A sort of proof, I suppose.
"Where are you from?" means "where are you as a person?"
At an intersection, on the corner, by a guardrail plastered with band stickers, by a highway to nowhere,
I am always home but do not belong.
