A Red Book Shed
“so much depends
upon
a red wheel
barrow
glazed with rain
water
beside the white
chickens”
— The Red Wheelbarrow, by William Carlos Williams
A red “book shed” instead of wheelbarrow, no white chickens — as far as I could tell — yet everything “glazed with rain water.” WCW: an American classic. Happy Thanksgiving!
{PS: My in-laws have lived in this town for 20+ years, and I’ve never noticed this spot until now. Anyone know what the story is w this place? I’ve found just a passing reference online, from a Cape Cod Times article from 2010, and an auto-created Yelp listing. Kinda felt like we were on private property…?}
