not until you step back into the larger world
do you see the tendernesses nestled
an older brother slowing himself down
as he still chases his little brother
running at full speed
with arm crutches
and knees leaned in together
some bravura of the man in front of
the Masonic lodge
cigar in mouth
and setting off one firecracker at a time
last 4 lines! i can see the movie scene and hear the song that's playing :)
