" but as the food went down with the
sayings
the appetite and digestion went along with them.
it seemed to me that I had never met
another person on earth
as discouraging to my happiness
as my father.
and it appeared that I had the same effect upon him.
"You are a bum," he told me, "and you'll always be a bum!"
and I thought, if being a bum is to be the
opposite of what this son-of-a-bitch
is, then that's what I'm going to be.
and it's too bad he's been dead
so long
for now he can't see
how beautifully I've succeeded
at
that. "
