brown-apollo

The first time I was at the Apollo, I threw my tie out to them, and they threw it back to me. I said, ‘James, you have got some work to do.’

“A stranger is someone / who sits

very still at the kitchen table,

looks down at his knuckles, / thinks some day we will laugh about this, / doesn’t believe it.”
