In this picture,
You can see where
The battered front
Wheel of my trusty tri-

A gun-shot barrel rim,
Having just banged
Off a lamppost before homing in
On my older brother's sarcastic grin--
You should have seen
The look on his face when
It came within inches of him.
(From the unpublished ms. The Intricate Evasions of As.)
Priceless. In front of the corner tavern, no less. And the sidewalk behind you, leading away....
