The Conversation by Russell Edson

 


Russell Edson lived the life of a hermit on Weed Ave in Stamford, Connecticut. Russell lived with his wife, Francis, who went off to teach children at school every day.  Other than Francis, I wonder how many conversations with other women Russell had.

THE CONVERSATION
There was a woman whose face was a cow's milk bag, a pink pouch with four dugs pointing out of it . . .
A man with a little three-legged milking stool comes. She stoops and he begins to milk her face . . .
