Football teams and Cheerleading squads fill up every year therefore if you are interested in joining the AYCA, I recommend that you do so now.
In park registration and fittings for tackle football equipment and cheer uniforms will be Sunday, May 20th. Regular registration ends May 31, 2012. Don't miss out.
Her Kid Brother Ran Beside the Car
ReplyDeleteAfter phoning her father
she caught a ride from the depot.
Her kid brother waited at the bridge
and then ran, grinning, beside the car
all the way to the house.
He was taller and bonier than the day she left,
bib overalls hanging on his shirtless shoulders,
thick dark hair shaking with his running.
He clammed up and backed off when she
got out. She held her squirming baby
and stood at the driver's window to thank
the neighbor who had given her a ride,
a long thanks protocol called for.
Neither father nor mother came to the door,
one reading the county paper
and one peeling an extra potato, and it was
her kid brother who reached for the suitcase
and ran ahead over the cedar needles
to open the heavy door.
