boston newspaper man


but who’s midway?  you?  no.  your sister.
but who stood to give up
the seat?  and who got in and whose feet
and knees scraped?

and whose birthday?  yours?  no.  your sister
Norma?  but it’s Dorris in the boat? your
birthday?  ok when’s hers.  just
the other day?  two years nearly to the day

younger?  and you’re fifteen today?  you’re
the one who got out of the boat
to give her a turn?  forgive me, this

is hard.  all these details.  ma’am?  a few

questions if i may?
