Lopsided Britches

overalls
thread bare lopsided
suspender here
there
draping
uncombed hair
wavy black
Dwarfed by
grandfather gray

unlikely pair;

tradition
passed from hand to hand
stringing man to lad
sea to land
Limping;
skipping…

stringer freckled
fins flicking
fish speckled

Reflections

  This one was a happy one, walking with my grandpa and hungry, awaiting cat.  Grandpa and I never spoke much, but we sure had fun.  Someday, I'll have to write one about our tobacco spitting contest!
