14,455. IT'S NOT LOUD, IT JUST IS

IT'S NOT LOUD, IT JUST IS
Interesting situations do leave
interesting stories. My recumbent
bicycle doesn't fold. My book 
jacket was lined in fleece. The
author photo was a mere cartoon.
-
Had it been a drawing of a horse,
could it too have been a mare
cartoon? I'd never known the
difference. We were stealing the
coal that fell off the trains on the
B&O tracks as they passed.
-
They were slow freights, and if
the coal had simply 'fallen' we
were never even sure if it actually
was 'stealing.' But we liked the
idea nonetheless. At the stove
shop we stole pallets to burn.
-
At the fish-store we stole whatever
smoked sturgeon we could get.
Ever have smoked sturgeon?
Best there is.
