Niagara Falls Postcard Greetings from the capital of love, whose cataracts a punster might foretell. Next time we come we’ll plan for a motel: one afternoon is simply not enough. Where other tourists see the Bridal Veil, I watch the ghosts of buffalos herded off a thousand cliffs by hunters. Gulls circle as if they were white buzzards. They wait to no avail. Sorry to be cynical, I buy some souvenirs—small TV sets with slides of all the sights in living color. The primal screams are missing. The hunters had their alibi but what is mine? Can I love a girl afraid of every honeymoon’s cheap thrills, like holding hands in public or acting like a fool? Yours, of course, until Niagara Falls. 55 You are reading copyrighted material published by Ohio University Press/Swallow Press.
