ok. but if you look at the text of Raise high the
roof beem carpenters you notice that buddy tells the
bride's father's deaf-mute uncle that that was why
seymour threw the rock at charlotte and that
everybody understood that that was why he did it. and
the bride's father's deaf-mute uncle just nods when
buddy looks at him waiting for him to call him a
liar. because he was lying. charlotte never forgave
seymour for it or understood why he had done it.
also: charlotte used to step on seymours FOOT when he
would say something good on "it's a wise child" and
when he had been in really good form he used to come
home with a limp because she had stamped on his foot.
like a handsqueeze buddy says only she uses her foot.
does anyone know which translation of sappho's
poems/fragments j.d.s. used for franny "delicate
adonis is dying..." and boo boo's faintly apocolyptic
bathroom mirror message. i've found both poems in a
couple of books but the translations are always
pretty dull.
fodder:
the matron of honor lies on the couch with her FEET
on boo boo's jacket.
hell, i don't even speak english and i like j.d.
figure that one out.
paul.
