MISERY

Sitting at my feet, smoking a fat cigar a writer was listenig to the radio.
They said they had to amend Huckleberry Finn.
It sounded to me very much like censure, or stupidity.
I saw him writing something down in is moleskine. Then, in a whisper, he read it out loud.
"What's in a name? That which we call a nigger
By any other name would forget the misery his people had to suffer?"
