Bits and Pieces: A Roaming
()
About this ebook
“Bits and pieces / scraps / what’s left on the barber shop floor / after a haircut / before the barber sweeps up”
In this unsentimental poetic memoir, award-winning screenwriter Edward Pomerantz captures significant moments of his life exactly between “before” and “after.” With the precise eye of a filmmaker, the soul of a playwright, he knows exactly how many frames to cut in order to evoke poignant images that are sharp and tender.

I am my father’s son.
Same dome. Same cock.
His hands—boning a shad,
removing its thousands of bones with knife and tweezer.
Mine—working with words,
telling a story,
removing the fat.

A movie with a stage show.
You take the downtown A.
A ride like no other.
Where you get to see colored people
at the two stops they get on at.
Where after 125th you get a thrill speeding up,
all the stops flashing by,
