Mr. Worth

by William J. Gibson

 

I remember we tried harder for him

I remember the 28 page Man From Uncle story I wrote and handed in

how disgusted he was when I bumped
into him on the street in Grade 9
telling him I was taking "dead end" Latin
the 2 year version

my one male teacher in grade school

I remember him trying to help Larry
who stuck safety pins in his forearms in 1966
and had a million bruises
