Films

 I HAVE kept all, not one is thrown away, not one given to the ragman, not one thrust in a corner with a “P-f-f.
” The red ones and the blue, the long ones in stripes, and each of the little black and white checkered ones.
Keep them: I tell my heart: keep them another year, another ten years: they will be wanted again.
They came once, they came easy, they came like a first white flurry of snow in late October, Like any sudden, presumptuous, beautiful thing, and they were cheap at the price, cheap like snow.
Here a red one and there a long one in yellow stripes, O there shall be no ragman have these yet a year, yet ten years.
