Franny takes the wash out, and hangs it on the line. Factories in the background but her lungs are doing fine. Stares up at a bright blue sky she knew another day. Hanging sheets & pillowcases, bleach takes out the clay. Sinatra on the radio and money in a jar, One day she's going to Hollywood so she can be a star. Momma thinks that she should stay and Dad says she can go. But Daddy had a lot to drink, his words they come out slow. The war is nearly over & the men are coming back. Franny wants to see the shore, her bags already packed. So every day the laundry comes & she will scrub them clean. Put her nickles in the jar, so she can live her dream. |
