    “Did Johnny look flashy?
    Yes, his white-on-white shirt and tie were luminous.
    His trousers were creased like knives to the tops of his shoes
    And his yellow straw hat came down to his dark glasses.”
    —David Wagoner (b. 1926)

    “From now on, if I ever get to burn another newspaper, I’ll remember what a few cents can buy.”
