15,563. HEMINGWAY HELD THE RECORD?

HEMINGWAY HELD THE RECORD?
For what, I wonder? Not any present-day
marvel, him. Too old-fashioned now, and
with all the griping and guilt, and Boom!
the damned bullet. Rumors swirl, but 
don't listen.
-
The eyeglass counter today, as usual, 
had no one there; just the same two bored 
girls who always sit idly by  -  hoping for 
someone to come around and have their
vision checked. A half-mile from the
book-rack; I couldn't read anyway.
-
Pulp and junk, rock stars and movie bios.
A how-to book about firearms preservation.
