Pure Spring
“Grampa was okay this morning. Because he slept so nice. Sometimes when the slippage is on he doesn’t sleep so calm. Sleeps like a freight train. Last night he didn’t know who I was. But he knew me this morning very well. That was good.
“Revelly! Revelly!” he shouted me awake. Imitating a bugle. “Revelly! Up, Martin! Up, my lad!
“Clay lies still but blood’s a rover;Breath’s a ware that will not keep.Up lad; when the journey’s overThere’ll be time enough for sleep.”
He has called out this poem ma...ny times to get me up. I know it off by heart. Grampa Rip loves poems.
Back to me in the truck.
We’re moving now and Randy’s silent for quite a while.
Then, “Know what a coincidence is, Boy? A coincidence? It’s two things that happen together and turn out to be a big surprise.”
Here we go.
“Looked at yer job application. Seen yer address. Somerset Street. Number 511, Apartment 4. Right across from Dumb Donald Park. Here’s what you call a coincidence! I used to live there!MoreLess
