The Collector

(4)

I could go on and on, of course, but to bring you up to date: a letter arrived today from Kaiser Permanente to the effect that the biopsy showed a 'benign skin lesion.' The 'keratosis,' which was the reason for the visit, has dropped off. The remaining outline of the dime-sized 'skin Lesion' seems to be flaking off too, leaving nice white baby skin behind. But the dark round mole is hanging on grimly. In fact it has turned black, and I can tell that it is in its last throes.

This leaves me wondering: What happened to the large middle segment of that suspicious lesion? Was it all consumed by the biopsy? Or - and I admit that this could be possible evidence of my insanity - does Walter L Gerash collect more than just photographs?
