He was a big
man not unlike
a bear and warm
. . . warm as winter
slippers, his heart
palpatating as he
watched the races
his fist banging
hard on the skel-
eton banisters
Horses always
drew him into
a state of del-
erium, "C'mon
"C'mon, you bitch
C'mon" and
drew his horse
in first
The Chestnut
one...she only
came in first
to please him...
