THE SHADOW MAKER
(’95)
]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]>>
– I make shadows for a living –
Business is usually good,
except on cloudy days.
– Long shadows are my specialty,,,
also broken-heart-shaped shadows,
& their companions,
silhouettes of lost loves.
– I offer a line of twilight shadows,,,
have to work fast on those
before they blend into the night…
– I have a special this week
on generic shadows,
buy one & a second one
will follow you around… for life.
– Need a shadow?
I’ll go anywhere…
I covered the entire country once
on a day in November, 1963.
– You’ll find me listed under various headings
in the dark pages of history.
