Text:
We have a perpetual pie on the table-- blueberry, plaster, fools everybody who comes to dinner and me too every day, even tho I'm the one who bought it in an antique shop. Whoever made it probably did all the angels and saints and virgins in the church. I'm praying to him for some portrait busts of friends.
