Augustine Rathgar, 17 Deckle’s Street

The man in the hat bought the scrap linoleum from a rug-thrower with a thriving rug-throwing business at 89.210.165 Hellas side-street Attiki, Athens. The thriving rug-thrower sold scraps of linoleum and bits and pieces of used and discarded carpet at 27½ % off the market price. The undercover was extra, filbert ecru, orangey red pomegranate and blue-sky blue with a hint of cobalt and eider. The rug-thrower knew the Greek delicatessen and the woman who sold knickknacks in front of the Seder grocer’s on weekends and Thursdays after 7pm. The rug-thrower’s father was born February the 2nd 1882 on 17 Deckle’s street, a stone’s-throw away from the Cork Marker’s Inn, and died January 13th1941 on 17 Uccle’s street from the whooping. His great-grandfather, Augustine Rathgar, lived to the ripe old age of 100 and 27½, missing his 100 and 28th year by a rug-thrower’s bolt. I suckle the cockles of her breasts, milk white Novena, night’s votive cry.
