Mr. Felice
6’ 148 lbs
Soft teeth
Sleep deprived
Below average student
Owner of 2 ill-fitting suits
Wearer of hand me downs
Often lukewarm, withdrawn
Bathrobe often loosely tied
Be at rest (my friend)
Be at rest
Never once named Employee of the month
Lover of 24-hour laundromats
Avoider of eye contact
Avoider of Blood drives
Be at rest (my friend)
Be at rest
Worked every night club in Amеrica
Had a fear of falling pianos
Now exists in the intеrval between Being and Illusion
In the saddle of a phosphorous horse
A patron of snow cone carts
Semi-proficient at long-division
Once spent over 2 months stuck in a painting by Bruegel the Elder
Be at rest (my friend)
Be at rest
The hearse has been cleaned and polished
His body has been prepared for entombment
The guest book left open
The funeral parlor pillows have been fluffed
To his son he leaves a cloudless sky
One pair of ill-fitting shoes
To his wife a drawer of undeveloped negatives
A bowl of onion soup
From dreams to dust
