Dolores lived on Shepherd Street.
Dolores she said if we had all put in our time
at the peanut butter factory and not bitched
and moaned about it all the time the men
would have taken care of us. They would have
given everybody a number, maybe,
you could just line up and get your food or
what have you you could bring your family
and they could sleep on the floors
or the benches. And the men, they’d
have known what to do. They’d have shot
those fish, they could have salted the clouds
or whatever it is they do
when the weather’s acting up funny.
