Cast a cold eye

On life, on death,
Horseman, pass

Under Ben
Bulben

W. B. Yates
(1865 – 1938)

I go into the pub since
Ann said bar food is

the fastest and

cheapest. I get

chicken and ham with

veggies and a big

thermos of soup for M

They said I could

bring the thermos

back tomorrow.

Imagine a place doing that in the U.S.

On the way out an old man at the bar starts talking to me. I

stop and he asks where I’m from? He tells me he was at John

Fitzgerald Kennedy’s grave and what did I think of him? I said

I didn’t know cause he died before I could meet him. He let

that go by. He says to take his picture but as I raise the camera,

he turns his back to me. I ask him if he changed his mind and

he doesn’t answer. I left. He would have made a neat picture

but maybe he didn’t like my smart aleck answer.
