spoke to him
as a boy he told his
parents When I growup Im not
living here
two long years after graduating high
school he flew the proverbial coop
coop he reminded them
. . . is an
enclosure made of wire metal bars where birds animals are kept
they were all there his parents his seven siblings when he backed down the mealy remains of the driveway
he would later return for the week it took to tearup by hand and sod
there were tears in everyones
eyes
his tears were for his siblings because he knew they would never leave
they made their lives there
his goading wore spurs
