SLIPPERY SLOPE
(The late Scott Wannberg worked many years at
Dutton’s Bookstore on the West Side. Back in ’06
he broke his foot, so I sent him a ‘get well’ poem.)

-Camus said it
in “The Fall”…
-‘Just because
the end is near
is no reason…’
-“We interrupt this diatribe
to bring you a news bulletin:
Scott Wannberg has been injured;
broke his foot while attempting
a Gene Kelly routine.”
-Scott’s best known as The Clerk,
in the long-running action series,
“Dutton’s Books.”
p.s.
-Get well…
