HOME ON MONTANA AVENUE

Out front on the grey steps

Two boys sit in blue pin striped

Double breasted suits and

Grey Homburg hats with

High starched collar shirts

Hand painted silk ties

Incongruous

On ones so young.

My brother grandfather

Would take fishing

Off Montrose Harbor

Where I remember

Them catching striped bass

But I would toddle along

Behind him to the

Cook County Public Library,

They'd bring home hot tamales

From the street vendor

On their way with pickled chili

Green peppers in a jar

That burned my tongue

When I ate every one

Grandmother found me

Wandering in and out

Of the pantry where

The quart of Wild Turkey

Was kept now nearly empty

And put me straight to bed

Another survivor
