Mr. Clutter

Sensible and sedate

handsome

impressed interior

spongy immense

interwoven

with glittery necessity

learned to cook

celebrated

coconut cookies

charity cake

Spartan breakfasts

neither coffee or tea,

of course he did not drink.

An erasure poem character sketch of Mr. Clutter, one of "the last to see them alive," described in the first chapter of In Cold Blood by Truman Capote. #28 of 30 in April, and sharing with the Real Toads on The Tuesday Platform. Somehow the photo "poetry spoken hear" seems to connect to In Cold Blood. Maybe it's because it's day 28.
