He was walking down the left side of the sidewalk holding a plastic
see through bag
Inside were two valentine boxes of candy with lace
The retarded man
The goofy man who cleans tables and works at the store I go in
Sometimes
His glasses are thick
He doesn't talk much
Two Oriental students followed behind at a distance
a girl and a boy
A couple perhaps.
I rode by in my volvo wagon and thought about how I the pseudo
writer would grab this character with my thoughts
Whose valentine was he and who was his.
I thought of him differently after that for some reason
and I might from now on.
