COCKLE THE
MANUFACTURE
The man who looked like Columbus
said, "I've made everything work for me,
don't you see. I've got no regrets." He's
just like that - a cauliflower ear in a no-duck
zone, fighting to the end and always listening
for the bell. Subtle differences reign. He'd never
tell. His life is an oasis; money, cars and greed.
-
The disastrous love affair his first-wife had -
she always says - was with him. I ought to know,
I've kissed her twice. Once was in the bowling
league in old San Juan; eating peppers spiced
with something horrid, even hotter than her.
-
Another time, a cool, crisp Fall morning, I was
walking up the hill to New Providence, yes, and
I swear I saw her again - rising away in a dark
blue Subaru and looking at me the whole time.
