“Stone, Cold” / Memorable Fancies #4338

Not many of us have statues, just those whose children were both rich and guilty of not paying much attention to their dads in life. So the statue – that one, waving at us – over there – that statue was carved by some hack and set up, and now I’m watching it from my own statue.

I’m watching that other statue, I mean, my father, in stone, that statue annoyingly larger than my own still, cold self as I try again to ignore his solemn, tyrannous figure

– and again fail.
