Vignette I
He
is
in fact
a poet -
he really is a
poet - and a real horse trainer.
He has held one-term jobs at various colleges -
but never so far away that he can't keep in touch with the stables. He gives readings -
but only - as he says - once in a blue moon - he doesn't stress the poetic employment - sometimes this is annoying this - affectation -
but one can see the point - when you're busy with horses people can see that you are busy - but when you're busy at making up a poem you look as if you're in a state of idleness and you're too embarrassed to explain.
