The Greatest Brooklyn Bridge Painting Never Seen ... Until Now ...

 When you grow up
in the shadows
of the Brooklyn Bridge
with an easel
next to your bed
 
This can be the result:

Inverted Inheritance From My Father

________________________________________________________________________________________________
 
 
was 
a soft-spoken man
 
I never heard him 
raise his voice
BUT
his son
is
—indisputably— 
a loud-mouthed Italian
who can sometimes
be heard
across whatever distance
is between
you and him

I fully expected

IT Happened On My Father's 110th Birthday ... Page One

________________________________________________________________________________________________
 
 
My Father's 110th birthday
was three days ago
and Mrs. CarPeo
was 
incredibly tolerant
of my inherited
chain-smoking
and charcoal-eyed 
misbehavior
 
BUT
the most profound memory
is not pretty:
 
is an extremely popular
word-guessing puzzle
to which I am addicted
 
It appears daily 
in the 
New York Times
+
my third 180-day streak
of correct answers 
and 99% ranking
came to an end
!!!

Censorship Is The Thing Flattering My Guilt Or Innocence

________________________________________________________________________________________________
 
 
If I were to lie to you
—without your knowing—
and call you 
INTELLIGENT
at the same time,
you would naturally be
grateful to me
