Dumont, Collections, White as...

Wesley also collected on-going lists of creative thoughts that he would refer back to in his writing. In this particular list, Wesley was collecting similes for "white". This is a culmination of several "white" lists, and there are many others like it. Here's a sample:

As white as a virgin’s front teeth
As white as Siberian snow
As white as the stars on a brand new American flag
As white as a sailor’s cap
As white as the blank page that stares at me now
As white as my ex-wife when I found her getting nailed by the handyman
As white as Ben Franklin’s hair
As white as a freshly pressed hospital gown
As white as pure cocaine extracted from the hand of a dead Colombian
As white as the walls at Bellevue, recently painted
As white as that actor's teeth
As white as unfettered taffy
