picture
of my father waxing his Cheverolet
Impala,
circ 1958.
it's turquoise,
like his eyes.
he's wearing plaid shorts
with his shirt off,
his muscled body
gleaming in the Cape Cod sun.
i'm standing beside
him,
with a cowboy hat on,
a holster
and two cap guns
around my skinny waist.
my sister is licking an ice
cream
cone beside me.
refusing
to give me a taste.
