I almost call him Larry

Michael Estabrook


Oh hey I met Lawrence Ferlinghetti
did I tell you, no of course I
didn’t tell you. I go out
every July to San Francisco on business and
always make the pilgrimage
over to City Lights Books and this
time I see a rather oldish looking gent
sitting at a desk in an office so I
stick my head in the doorway and say,
“Excuse me but are you Lawrence?”
(I almost call him Larry.)
And it is him, so he signs a couple
books for me, says for me to make
myself at home
and all that; I tell him I’m
reading his biography but he seems
sort of uninterested in that,
always been a rather un-egotistical man
I think. Well anyway, there
it is. It was great
meeting him, he’s 76 you know.
