O beautiful was the werewolf in his evil forest. We took him to the carnival and he started crying when he saw the Ferris wheel. Electric green and red tears flowed down his furry cheeks. He looked like a boat out on the dark water.
Richard Brautigan...decades ago I walked into a small bookstore asking if they had The Abortion by Brautigan. The clerk had not a clue about this novel, and directed me over to the aisle holding medical books. I explained it wouldn't be in that section. (She later ordered the book for me. Oh, the old days before Amazon.com...)
Marvelous pairing of image and poem.

Oh gosh....I haven't read Brautigan in years. This brought back great memories of a wildly creative man.
