Personal Inscriptions In Some Of My Books: for Frank Berliner

I’ve seen someone like you before…

you’ve seen someone like me before…

those are two dots…here’s a pencil.

You don’t need anything from me…

just don’t make trouble for yourself.

Seeing your face is a surprise…wear

it proudly.

Be careful crossing the street.

Krishna, Shmishna, hand me the pliers.

If I had a face like yours,

I wouldn’t need mine.

Personally, I’d go with the elective surgery.

Maybe you should get down on all fours
and try to make it as a dog.

Signing your book is not enough.

Is that a family name, or, a genetic tracer?

You wouldn’t happen to have a

bottle of Scotch on you, would you?

Don’t worry… someday we’ll

all look like you.
