Could it be our own Derek Post? If not, it's Mike Geary.
C'est moi. C'est moi! T'is I, I humbly reply.
Except that I've never been published anywhere, never engaged in writing
about financial thingies except apologizing for bounced checks, nor ever
never writ one long reference article about any ancient culture. No
spontaneous singer I -- even my grandchildren beg me not to sing -- that
should tell you something about a singing ability. I've never walked a dog
in my life though dogs have often followed me home, I think they can smell a
sucker. If they can't, cats sure can. Some 10 to 15 crowd my stoop every
morning only to scatter like buck shot when I open the door. And while it's
true that I'm a private dancer, it doesn't follow that I'm a private
investigator. My namesake "Atlas", does slowly rot outside 30 Rockefeller
Center, but I rot right here in Memphis and much more rapidily. So it can't
be me.
Who then?

Such daily shocks unravel into a variety of pennings, mostly defense
mechanisms, that range from poetry to financial writing, from comic
essays to long reference articles about ancient cultures, from book
reviews to prose fiction. Spontaneous singer, full-time dog walker,
private investigator, handyman, late sleeper, landowner, he is currently
imperceptibly aging in New York City.
