Poetfolio by Danny Aponte
I asked a librarian if I could request the Good Fellas
soundtrack.
There was a song featured in the film I wanted to hear.
What’s the name of it, he asked with a shy smile.
Be My Baby Tonight, I replied. He giggled.
OMG! I wasn’t thinking at the library!
He thinks I’m hitting
on him!
Everything’s changed since I came out of my semi-coma in The
New Millennium.
Be My Baby is by The Ronettes, he said like an eager
contestant on Jeopardy.
What is Poetfolio?
This story about a South Bronx Public Library has everything
including a brain damaged Puerto Rican obsessed with writing The Great American
Novel where humor happens.
I’ll be in the non-fiction section if anyone needs to read
this.
