| The cover for Trout Fishing in America is a photograph taken | C |
| - | |
| late in the afternoon a photograph of the Benjamin Franklin | D |
| - | |
| statue in San Francisco's Washington Square | E |
| - | |
| Born Died Benjamin Franklin stands on a | B |
| - | |
| pedestal that looks like a house containing stone furniture | F |
| - | |
| He holds some papers in one hand and his hat in the other | F |
| - | |
| Then the statue speaks saying in marble | G |
| - | |
| - | |

| Around the base of the statue are four words facing the | B |
| - | |
| directions of this world to the east WELCOME to the west | N |
| - | |
| WELCOME to the north WELCOME to the south WELCOME | O |
| - | |
| Just behind the statue are three poplar trees almost leafless | P |
| - | |
| except for the top branches The statue stands in front | Q |
| - | |
| of the middle tree All around the grass is wet from the | B |
| - | |
| rains of early February | R |
| - | |
| - | |
| - | |
| In the background is a tall cypress tree almost dark like | S |
| - | |
| a room Adlai Stevenson spoke under the tree in before | A |
| - | |
| a crowd of people | G |
| - | |
| - | |
| - | |
| There is a tall church across the street from the statue | T |
| - | |
| with crosses steeples bells and a vast door that looks like | S |
| - | |
| a huge mousehole perhaps from a Tom and Jerry cartoon | K |
| - | |
| and written above the door is 'Per L'Universo ' | - |
| - | |
| Around five o'clock in the afternoon of my cover for | A |
| - | |
| Trout Fishing in America people gather in the park across | U |
| - | |
| the street from the church and they are hungry | R |
| - | |
| It's sandwich time for the poor | V |
| - | |
| But they cannot cross the street until the signal is given | C |
| - | |
| Then they all run across the street to the church and get | W |
| - | |
| their sandwiches that are wrapped in newspaper They go | X |
| - | |
| back to the park and unwrap the newspaper and see what their | E |
| - | |
| sandwiches are all about | Y |
| - | |
| A friend of mine unwrapped his sandwich one afternoon | K |
| - | |
| and looked inside to find just a leaf of spinach That was all | Z |
| - | |
| Was it Kafka who learned about America by reading the | B |
| - | |
| autobiography of Benjamin Franklin | D |
| - | |
| Kafka who said 'I like the Americans because they are healthy | R |
| - | |
| and optimistic ' | - |
