it was a lifetime later,

when
he learned
he was called
the Black Sheep

of
the school,
which was something
he already knew, but that sealed the deal,

and, in
thinking back on it,
it probably had something
or nothing to do with the fact that

he
couldn’t
afford the 20 bucks

or whatever it was

for
a copy of
the yearbook

and
whenever he’d
go into the school library,

old
Mrs. Albert, the librarian

used to
ask him about it

and
it bothered
him so much
he finally quit going in,

which
was probably
a good thing because
it got him reading books he

couldn’t
find in school,

besides,
he never did
need that old yearbook, anyway.
