Julia says I’m a warlock, because I wrote Shirley Temple into a poem a couple of days ago and then she died. My grandmother, who died last May in the tornado, looked so much like the child star that her mother used to dress her up like ST to play it up. (I’m sure lots of kids got that treatment.) My grandmother thought the same of her youngest daughter, so did the same, but by then it was a little anachronistic, which I kind of love.
