Two Faces
That’s my portrait. Obviously I
used to be younger. I am no
Dorian Gray. The
artist who drew this died years
ago. Yes, she was a friend but
never a lover.
I sketched the picture next to
it. I thought I was Modigliani
or Klee. I still
have a box of crayons. I had
to throw out tubes of unused
ruined paint.
If I remember his name was
McGuire—a twenty-something
redneck from
Sand Springs. The name is on
the back. Saying this makes me
feel numb.
