Things I Know I'll Never Have

that dammuso with an Arab garden on Pantelleria
a cape schooner
a child
a little red brick house on Beacon Hill
prize-winning marrows
an Olympic medal
homing pigeons
a lap pool
the ability to carve gargoyles
the George Harrison album I gave away
an igloo
anorexia
a unicycle
Barbra Steisand’s nose
a chinchilla
a blind date with a satanist
a comet named for me
another model riding school
a button factory
my name in the Minoan textbooks for having translated Linear A
a Golden Wedding anniversary
a zydeco band
the ability to suffer fools gladly
