Gone
At Foster and Cleveland, light red
as Rudolph’s nose, Daddy turned
and said, “I have the ‘riginal Gone
with the Wind. It’s untouched, still
in the wrapper.” I’ve never seen
that. “How could you not? I bought
it for you.” Well, it’s still wrapped,
how could I? “You should one day.”
He smiled, but I knew he was glad
that I didn’t. The movie’d be worth
much more untouched, especially
since the world’s changed so much.
