it’s easy to spot
the serious gentleman
he’s notating joyce.
a pen in one hand
he scribbles in the margins
frowning all the while.
can he not see that
frowning creases his forehead?
oh, i suppose not.

Oh, it must be a young one. Don’t think he would hurt you or something. They just grew up with you around and got used to that. I want to visit that man with the foxes again in September. Minnie got pregnant from Henry… I don’t know what is going to happen…

I would go and visit him now, but I have lost my front tooth, and they say I will get it done in the end of July… 😦 So I cancelled everything and stay at home – it is very depressing and humiliating 😦
