sarah is unable to see you. good day

thank you, ma’am. tell her i’ll come back next sunday

such was the coming of the colored man in the car to broadview avenue

each sunday, he’d come driving
curtains would part
neighbors would peek

will you see that she gets these flowers, ma’am?

week after week

sending him off seemed a crime
