Missing Man
Mid-November after I rake the leaves I stand at Central and First,
holding the Stars and Bars. All of them died in Nam — my brother Joe,
my cousin Freddy, mom's youngest brother Jack. Sometimes I just have
to come out on the streets and stand with my flag. There's no parade.
The smell of burning
could be diesel
could be napalm
