SALESMAN
I am solicitous of everything about you:
the buy sell return and use. Get that?
It puts me in a real tight corner, having
nothing to sell but calling myself that.
Where's the corner for this Coleman
Lantern and all that bright light it
throws? I need some information.
-
How dwells the infant in its cradle?
Where goes the wagon when it leaves
at night? How many wise men did it
take to decide there'd be only three?
-
I grew up in the sticks. I learned my
lessons all on the sly : mountain dragons
and tanker cars, a junkyard, where the kids
played cards. I never left my shouldered
burden for a minute untended. Maybe that
is my problem, the way the Lord intended.
