Riverview Variety


from the ABC set POETRY - A Passage of Motion 2

Watches from the gas bar window,
tourists driving
in off New Brunswick Hwy #2

young lad walking briskly to the pumps,
businesslike

my son Troy impressed, impolitely
inquiring
”Hey kid, how old are you?”

“Old enough,” the crisp reply.

Yeh, a tale of 3 cities is Troy ... Bars in various forms too.

Thank you for reading my work. Troy is our middle son, and unfortunately living too far away from his mom and dad. We see him rarely. Chimo, Richard LP
