who are these men in the truck?

the neighborhood
watch
has their eyes on the two men
in the truck
drinking wine
and scratching off lotto
tickets.
they're eating sandwiches
with the radio on.
who are these men,
the watcher writes, does
anyone know
who they are?
two men in the white
truck.
should we call the police.
i heard screaming last night
down the street and
what sounded like gun shots.
do you think
they had something to do
with it?
emily writes back.
that's my father and his friend,
Elmer.
they're having lunch
before going back to work.
