"And me I'm in a rock'n'roll band Hah! Ridin' in a Stutz Bear Cat, Jim,You know, those were different times!"
-Velvet Underground
To say that Jason Mascaras was a fan of Jackson Whitlock's poetry wouldn't be accurate. It would be better to say that Jason Mascaras was a fan of Jackson's daughter Elise. Elise Whitlock was not only in Jason's math and history classes, but she was in his head nearly all of his waking hours.
Elise Whitlock was the only child of Jackson Whitlock and his ex-wife Rosario.
Jason spent hour after hour trying to figure out how exactly to get Elise to notice him, give him at least the time of day.
Nothing seemed to work.
He wrote songs for her.
He anonymously sent her flowers.
He "accidentally" bumped into in the hallway, in the cafeteria, at the mall - basically anywhere he could see her.
All for nothing.
Then one day,finally, he struck gold.
Jason overheard Elise praising her father Jackson's poetry.
To say that Jason Mascaras was ignorant about poetry would be an understatement.
He wasn't simply ignorant, he ridiculed and hated it.
To him, it was effeminate and boring. It was for nerds and chicks.
But, it was a foot in the door.
