Mr. Reid

I walked past the funeral home today
I looked in the window remembering the cold February day
And I saw Mr. Reid looking at me from inside the window
while talking on the phone

I looked away
and wondered if the old Irishman had remembered me

  1. Mr. Reid. What a bizarre time. Talking about Irish heritage in a Polish neighborhood with stings in Japan. And not really knowing what to say at all.

  2. And Mr. Reid said, "And where were your people from?"
