If Oliverio Were Given A Dubious Achievement Award

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

*** 

 

Oliverio 

would be 

awarded for

his re-reading

Jules Feiffer's

crime fiction

parody

 

Naturally,

Paul 

had forgotten

101 percent

of 

a 300-page

novel

BUT

the second reading

involved

more than

fifty times

of picking up 

the book

and 

putting it 

down again

for reasons

too strange 

to mention

Vincent King

told me this story:

 

For 

every thousand people

who know RICHMOND

only one knows

KEEZLETOWN

because

 

Mr. Richmond

Mr.Keezle

 had

a horse race

to determine

which one 

would get

the Shenendoah

county seat:

 

Keezle was so drunk,

he fell off his horse

 

Vincent 

is the deceased father

of 

my parents'

Great-Grandchildren

and

I miss

my living sister's

husband

dearly

Two Pauls + One Finger ... Photograph By Kevin O'Grady

Somewhere in Texas 

 Pointing to California

_______________________

_______________ 

 

—Late August, 1968— 

Paul Gretschel 

was making 

his 3rd trip

to California

But this time,  

he 

was  introducing

the state 

to 

the other Paul

+

Kevin O'Grady

___________

_________

On one 

of his previous trips,

Gretschel scored some 

Haight Ashbury

LSD

and 

his current

traveling trio  

 imbibed

while discussing

Kierkegaard,

Walt Disney 

and 

Lyndon Johnson,

somewhere in

Missouri 

______________

__________ 

Two blocks west 

of 

Junction Boulevard

—on Roosevelt Avenue—

was 

O'GRADY'S EIRE BAR

__________

  ______________

That is where I met

Frannie Kafka

and 

Lollie Palooza,

who doubled as 

Brian Wilson's

inspiration for

Good Vibrations

 In 2016,

I receive a phone call

from Long Island:

a friend had just read

Paul Gretschel

died 

the previous year

 

All attempts 

to locate 

Kevin O'Grady

were put to rest

at that time

but the memories

breath louder

every day
