that was me
on the very yellow left
looking at the cat
wishing Marlene
wouldn't add it to the picture

that was a time
I'll always remember
when our church
brought children
from an Omaha church
to visit and stay in our homes
during the summer of the race riots

gail wrote my family
for years and years
the last we heard from her
was when she announced
she was getting married
