Catherine, what a story! You never told me! Here's a story Richard told on himself tonight. In January he gave a reading in Key West, and after reading many perfectly straightworward poems he read "Lying." He told the audience that when he first read it to Charlee, she said "Dick you've finally written a poem which is incomprehensible from beginning to end." When he finished reading "Lying," a man in the back of the hall, shouted "God bless your wife!"
