14,424. HARVEY THE STONEMASON

HARVEY THE STONEMASON 
Well, there was a hell of a guy;
trowels and levels, chisels and
hammers. As I recall he'd suck
his damned cigar and shoot spit
into my eye. He had a wife he
always called 'Nitro'  -  he said
because she had a 'damn temper
like flame.'
-
It's funny the things you remember.
The blue house with the double
dormers that those two funny gents
lived in; before I knew things could
be gay and it wasn't all funny. One
word that leads into another.
-
The lady with the '59 Galaxie, who
worked for the dentist far down the
street  -  a five-foot dynamo with a
scampy attitude to everyone. We
kids were always scared but her
sweet little name was Rose.
