Rengay
Bookends
a bench in the park—
three old men sleeping
hold each other up
betty
how desolate they look—
bookends without books
max
she finds on e-Bay
an antique ivory walking stick—
surprise for dad
betty
canal house—
even the buttresses
look ancient
max
propped under the table leg
a box of alimony checks
betty
how gracefully
the girl with the bandaged foot
moves with her crutches
