Look like your Grandmom.
Leastways, if you’d wear a goddamn dress
- once in a while.
Glad to see ya, though.
Staying long, or is there a college beau
back on campus?
Yeah, I was just now
thinking of the day I handed her
a visitor’s pass,
the day I waved her
through a red and white barrier into
the Manhattan.
Took June on picnics
under the last namesake cottonwoods
of my home town.
We saw the desert
bloom with eye-burning, yearning light
and named your mom.
I guess ya know the
story, since ya got the same, strange name
of Trinity.
