A little man with a fake look
ing beard zips in to miss
pronounce the truth. lisps
Seth in french canadian under
tones. the accordian plays in the back
ground. wet foam washes down
stream. poutine covered in brown
gravy is served. “Apollo doesn’t go
to the moon without
my pa, he helped weld them giant rockets
ya know the ones that lifted them fellas
to the stars?” Old men shake
their heads, it’s a story
line they’ve heard too many times be
fore. the sunset’s a ways back now
the beer goes down smooth. They laugh
Seth loudest of all be
cause the little man pays
for realer than his beard looks.
