“During an Afternoon”

Sherman

Was old

The newspapers deflected off of him

Left and right

.

He’d fought in a war,

Vietnam

The

Man he thought he’d kill

Ran away and

One day Sherman took a plane home

.

Sherman

Visited the thrift store and

Talked

To me as the sun began to set in the western sky

There

Was

Nothing

To hold me back from

Sherman’s mind
