© Oliverio I have always wanted to end a caption with the words Richard Brautigan |
My foliage is red and able.
I am a Japanese Red Maple.
My neighbor is tall
and bare of limb.
I do like him.

Footnotes
The definition of a Brautaginian is one who reads the caption above
and immediately thinks of the word "mayonaisse."
That caption is the most esoteric joke in the GodFather of Math trilogy.
The next Richard Brautigan page is here.
Presently, this page is more than doubled in length by the comments below.

Leaves of lovd
ReplyDeleteNot lewd leaves, love
DeleteSuch heart-warming esoteric sentiment.
DeleteWhy isn't this (and the previous image)
ReplyDeletea Photoverio page?
The important thing is that both photographs
Deleteare copyrighted.
Because of what I deem an excess
of "manipulations" on the original
images, I do not want to diminish
the Photoverio style.
The text of both pages is also copyrighted.
Maybe you should attribute
Deletethese images to Technoverio.
Thank you for the cute and clever idea.
ReplyDeleteBut, at this time, the CarPeo braintrust
needs to work on two more
Jetty Photoverio images.
PS
The image above is another photgraph
from the Getty Garden.
Last month, I was there with three friends
and three hundred new memories.
Had it not been a Japanese maple,
I might not have been contemplating
RICHARD BRAUTIGAN.
Once upon a time,
ReplyDeleteRichard was all aces in the literary world.
But then somebody
stuck a few jokers in the deck.

Susana, you got it backwards:
DeleteRichard Brautigan was the joker in the deck
until the literary world decided to play it straight.
--Anonymous Art Critic #18
a/k/a Mehta Forthwright
Sorry #9, but #18 wins on accuracy points
ReplyDeleteMehta might have made an allowance for Vonnegut's
successful yetnot-so-straight style of fiction
but Richard was more the joker
than the joked upon.
Susana, I do appreciate that the poetic license
of your comment contains many
colors of the rainbow.
However, is it possible that
one of those colors
prevented you
from spelling
your name
correctly?
Is it missing a second k ?
Paul, I am so embarrassed!
DeleteYou are correct.
I am Susana Sooksinkta.
I hope none of my literature students
at the University of Montana
read this.
