Having Fitz
Ever since faucon first introduced the Fitz, I’ve been perversely wanting to take shameless advantage of that “loop-hole” that lets you use a title of any length.
I was stolen by the Gypsies.
My parents stole me right back.
then the Gypsies stole me again.
This went on for sometime.
(Charles Simic)
If the Gypsies had stolen me
A breath wouldn’t have been uttered
My mother would have let the back door slam
Gone across the tall grass of the yard
Faster than heat lightening in the mountain twilight
When my father came home and found her gone
Heaven wouldn’t have been enough
