- What? - Did you ever hear of the old Italian poet called Pet-ra-rch, is that it? Mm, Petrarch. He perfected the sonnet. Um, I read online that one of his early books of poems was called The Secret Book. Just like yours. I didn't know that. You read that? You just happened upon it online? And also that he wrote all his love poems to a beautiful girl called, ta-dah, Laura. That's true. So you have many things in common with other great and famous poets, you see.

So why don't you recite me something? Just a few little lines, maybe from the love poem. Well I- I can give you a few lines I didn't write. Are they by your hero, Carlo William Carlos? William Carlos Williams. I know, darling. I was teasing.

A girl you met? Yeah, no, like a little girl. Like a t... like a ten-year-old girl. Oh! She was on the bus? No, I met her on my way home from work, near the old factories. She was waiting for her mom and her sister and... and I noticed she had a notebook of poems, and she read one to me. From her own secret notebook?

I just remember how it started. "Water falls from the bright air, "falls like hair, "falling across a young girl's shoulders."

Look, Lou Costello has got to be the most famous person from Paterson. Yeah, probably, yeah. I mean, he... he's got that statue and he's got his own park. Right, I mean, Alexander Hamilton has a statue, others got statues but not their own park! Hell, even Fetty Wap don't have no park.
