I remember being afraid that the barber might slip and cut my ear.
I remember that once he did.
I remember at the end of a haircut getting my neck dusted off with a soft brush full of nice smelling powder. And getting swirled around to look in the mirror and how big, afterwards, my ears were.

I remember going to a church on the Bowery where bums go to get work for a day and being sent to Brooklyn to clean up a small Jewish synagogue where the rabbi was so disgusting that after half a day’s work I just couldn’t stand it anymore so I ‘disappeared.’ (With no pay.)

I remember an ice cream parlor in Tulsa that had a thing called a pig’s dinner. It was like a very big banana split in a wooden dish made to look like a pig’s trough. If you ate it all they gave you a certificate saying that you ate it all.
