Fish - By Dhornsby As I shelved Hemmingways, Cranes, and Tolstoys, I learned more about war from a man in a grimy shirt than I could ever read in a book.
I asked about fish that never existed.
The war messed him up, she says.
They don’t let him in (she didn’t say why).
Every Friday, he stands by the window with his plastic bags and stares.
The cat vomits near the mystery section and neither one of us wants to clean it up.
One day, after he had left, my manager told me that her friend, a waiter at the restaurant, said the man was banned there two years ago.
Then he tells me again to read The Sun Also Rises- the best book he’s ever read.
"Delicious," he invariably responds.
"How was the fish?" I always ask.
He breathes on her, telling me that she likes the smell of the swordfish or lobster he just ate.
He returns an hour later, without fail, to see the cat again.
