Jimmy retrieved a magnifying glass from his man purse and used it to study a photograph of retirees from his local union. He lookedat the same picture for almost half an hour and didn't realize he was being photographed himself.I could have used that magnifier to study a big bag of an insect that he found and brought into the house. This morning I thought of all those collections of bugs in the downstairs closets of my youth, pins stuck through thoraxes securing them to the oak tag cardboards, a vague smell of lighter fluid around the closet, and paper labels of lepidoptera and hymenoptera in disarray on the floor. Jim wonders why I scream when I see an ant unexpectedly. It's the crawling that bugs me.
What...is he writing a book? "My Socialist Buddies and Me and How We Built the Country We Now Shall Tear Down and You Can't Stop Us You Tea-Party Fascists!!! (A Pictorial Memoir for the Literacy Challenged)" or some such.
