Nathan Tyree: The 25 Names
Did you hear about Autumn Sullivan Corbett Fitzsimmons Jeffries Hart Burns Johnson Willard Dempsey Tunney Schmeling Sharkey Carnera Baer Braddock Louis Charles Walcott Marciano Patterson Johansson Liston Clay Frazier Foreman Brown? No joke- this is the name of a baby recently born in England. You’ll notice that her twenty-five middle names are all the names of boxers of note.
Imagine using this as a character name. The word count of any story with this character would skyrocket.
Early on Tuesday Autumn Sullivan Corbett Fitzsimmons Jeffries Hart Burns Johnson Willard Dempsey Tunney Schmeling Sharkey Carnera Baer Braddock Louis Charles Walcott Marciano Patterson Johansson Liston Clay Frazier Foreman Brown awoke to the sound of a mockingbird doing its best to convince the world that it was garbage truck backing down the alley. Autumn Sullivan Corbett Fitzsimmons Jeffries Hart Burns Johnson Willard Dempsey Tunney Schmeling Sharkey Carnera Baer Braddock Louis Charles Walcott Marciano Patterson Johansson Liston Clay Frazier Foreman Brown climbed from her bed and dressed. She was in a hurry to get to school, as this was a special day: Autumn Sullivan Corbett Fitzsimmons Jeffries Hart Burns Johnson Willard Dempsey Tunney Schmeling Sharkey Carnera Baer Braddock Louis Charles Walcott Marciano Patterson Johansson Liston Clay Frazier Foreman Brown was going to kill her teacher today…
In other news: the dog is doing better. I’m writing a lot of poetry of late. Here’s one I’m working on:
A Love Letter
a slice just above L3 will leave them docile
dead below the waist and unable to run
bloodblack decay cakes at the wound
a certain type of rat, blood eyed and ragged,
all ochre teeth and fault line spirit
gnaws at the spine-
the sunken shadow between a hint of rib
insinuated like memory
at the gates of Buchenwald
the wasted shore of your face
plumbed by ants that need no ladder
the eloquence of a lead pipe
