THE PRESBYTERIANS

He had a look of complete surprise

When they called his number

His hand clenched

The wheel so tightly

The metal car horn

Shattered in two.

His daughter cried

Quietly –

Made no mention

Of her intense sadness –

Rather passed on the denial

Like a bowl

Of shelled peas

At Sunday dinner.
