Everything in Hans Varnerapos;s life is kept in an orderly fashion, and his pockets are no exception. His shirt pocket always contains a plastic comb, small and black. His right pants pocket contains a keyring with five keys on it - one to a safety deposit box, two for the front and back doors of his house, one for his office and one for a filing cabinet. He does not have a key to a vehicle, because he no longer owns one. His left pants pocket contains his wallet. The wallet is well-crafted leather, and has been with him a long time.
The wallet has six business cards inside, identifying him as the deputy mayor of a small town called Mitiligart, Iowa and giving his office address. He has a driverapos;s license left over from when he thought he might want to drive again, now primarily for identification purposes. His full name is listed as Hans Ernst Varner. This is true; the date of birth is always a lie. He doesnapos;t remember the current one he has listed. His home address is 2012 Meade Drive . He has a Visa check/debit card from a Commerce bank in Des Moines, an American Express card, and a CVS pharmacy card. Behind them is a folded piece of paper with the number of a swiss bank account - the paper is yellow with age, and is only unfolded twice a year though he has long since committed the number to memory.
Inside the billfold portion of the wallet - three twenties, two tens, one five, three dollars, one quarter and two pennies. There is a flap behind the money that conceals a photograph. The photograph is papery with age and repeated fingering, as early on he had a habit of running his thumb over it to check if it was still in there. The image has faded with time and wear to be nearly unrecognizable - it could be any boy, on any street, in any time. Hans likes that about it, the anonymity brought on by age, and that he alone knows that it is a photograph of his Occitan lover snapped in a Paris alley during a rare carefree day sixty-some years ago. He no longer takes it out nightly, as he did in the early years - but he is content that it is there in its proper place.
