Nantasket Lights
after Temple Grandin Hilary Sideris I got kicked out of English for fighting. I remember What’s- Her-Name’s cheek blazing from my slap! She called me Tape Recorder over & over as I talked about the Rotor at Nantasket Park. I didn’t think in words. Still don’t. I rode that tilting wheel all night. I like the way it feels to be pushed up against a wall. |
