In the sky, the pink was rising into the blue - he was walking the tracks again, drinking a beer, flicking his butts in the ditch, head down, watching the ties. He knows what draws him there, instead of sidewalks or streets; when his daddy left them, he'd taken a train - but he couldn't figure out what the hell he expected to happen - Daddy sure wasn't gonna come riding by one day, it was twenty-two years ago now; he doesn't even remember him leaving, since he'd been only one and a half then; all he knows is Momma told him that Daddy left one night on a train, and now, when he walks, he always takes the tracks.
