Along the Back Wall

I have all my Hudson County hunting trophies hanging there. Squirrels, rats, insurance salesmen. Also, photos fom my six years in the Commandos where I learned close combat and knife fighting.
I have framed wise sayings like The calm before the storm, Keep your friends close and your enemies closer and do not pass wind on the first date.
There are many shots of people hugging me--the mailman, garbage man, paper boy--all people I tip.
Rejections slips I proudly display to push me to work harder.
Finally, I have a floor length mirror, which I step before as I leave the shower naked. It gives me confidence. No matter how many set backs I suffer I still have this body.
