Don Kingfisher Campbell

Have you ever...

 

...tried using a key

instead of a quarter

to unlock an Aldi

shopping cart?

 

...shoplifted $1,000

of Legos from Target,

not for "family members",

but to sell?

 

...worked for Grubhub,

made a measly $6.69

on a delivery that

totalled $25.47?

 

...left a restaurant,

paying for your meal

on your way out, because

you didn't like your relatives?

 

...shot down a Chinese

spy balloon since that is

your job flying a fighter jet

from a Carolina air force base?

 

I have done none of these Google-able

things, yet I have been on the front page

of local 20th century newspapers twice,

once as a Barnes Park teenage turtle racer,

 

and again in the El Monte bus station

performing poetry in a safety jacket

to waiting riders about French toast,

street football, and spring love
