the evidence in black and white

i have
a black and white photo of my
father's
second family.
they look
fat and happy in the sun,
out in the back
yard of the house
they lived in for ten years.
the kids sort
of look like us,
the seven from the first marriage
to my mom.
and then
that train went off the track too.
and in the end
he said,
none of it ever happened.
they weren't his
children.
but here is the photo.
i have proof.
they look exactly like him.
