Suddenly
a bearded father leans
toward his neighbor and
moves
his mouth soundlessly![](../gif/short.gif)
They all begin to stir and shift some
angry
some scuffing
shoes on the ground
...............
Now
she sits in her light-blue evening gown
She holds the
raw weeping pulp
up against
the fire-red sky's
tatters of flames
...............
Grandpa
rode the union rails
for the Delaware
and Hudson
Told us being a
brakeman meant
someday he'd break
his goddamn neck
