April 25, 2011. Trophy

 

I once bought a car from a guy in South

Philly. He lived in a tiny house

but on his wall was the head

of an 8-point

buck.

 

"Hunting?" I asked.

 

"Runway," he said. 

 

"Planes hit deer

awla time," he said.

"All you gotta do

is drive out at night

and get 'em."

 

I paid him cash for the car

and left.

 

Two years later

it died

on the road.

I keep its bumper

over my fireplace.
