normal rockwell

general store
plank board
steps—old men rocking
corncob pipe smoked
tellings of fish tales
flap—ponytails freckled
face tongues squeezed
in colorful concentration—apple
piled pie caught in the eye of
overall wearing hunger—proud
tall sailor bent over blush
busty blonde and
baseball
mirror—in—
mere image creased yet
all-american
flag waving parade—post
scripted warm for a
saturday evening

we just don't—talk
about what's under
the oil of
these
normal rockwell
