Danny Kaye (b. David Daniel Kaminski) B. 1.8.13 Brooklyn / D. 3.3.87 Los Angeles Heart Attack I was in Georgia on our first visit home from Massachusetts, where we lived now Two and two are four no more for me the shiny classrooms with their kind young teachers nor the kind dark ladies spooning black-eyed peas into a crater on my lunch tray�no Inchworm, inchworm in Massachusetts, mean old women, flaking white, conducted each her relic�s reign of terror in the drafty wooden classrooms of the Center School, whose stairwells reeked of coal�coal! measuring the marigolds Mass�yes�massed among the strips of frost-browned verdure and cement, endless blocks of wooden buildings clanked their radiator chains like murderers� ghosts; the rest was graveyards sixteen and sixteen are thirty-two�inchworm no sun, no sandy piney woods, no drive-in movies, no red clay, rusty creeks, nor rumored copperheads�not like Georgia you and your arithmetic where I swung upon my favorite swing among the set in back of our apartment house, and sang a sad song to myself you�ll probably go far home but homesick still; and I could not form the cursive capitals for F or Q or T.
