Nod to Myron Lysenko's Father's Day with thanks
LILT xxxiii.
MEN’S TALK
Gallagher’s Blues or Gallagher’s Greens who’s
got the yellowest thumb and fingers The soft tuth tup of tobacco threads
shed from tongue tip brown pinstripes hitched up above knees head back laughing
at some joke Brylcreemed brunette waves oily impressions on white antimaccassars
all day Sunday newspapers here read the cartoons his interest in
words his gentle talk his weak
heart his short dear life
