Two of a Kind
written by: Ken Gosse
I’d been waiting for Godot
since a long, long time ago
then got a note from Bartleby
who told me that it shouldn’t be
much longer until they would show
(then Bartleby wrote this to me:
“I’d rather not be on the spot.
PS
Since then, I’ve learned, also,
my friend has somewhere else to go.”)
NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:
Godot is a character from Samuel Beckett’s 1949 play “Waiting for Godot.” Bartleby is a character from Herman Melville’s 1856 short story “Bartleby, The Scrivener: A Story Of Wall-street.” Of course, it’s not known whether they ever met.
