Blandly mother br takes him strolling br by railroad and by river br -he's the son of the absconded br hot rod angel- br and he imagines cars br and rides them in his dreams, br br so lonely growing up among br the imaginary automobiles br and dead souls of Tarrytown br br to create br out of his own imagination br the beauty of his wild br forebears-a mythology br he cannot inherit. br br Will he later hallucinate br his gods? Waking br among mysteries with br an insane gleam br of recollection? br br The recognition- br something so rare br in his soul, br met only in dreams br -nostalgias br of another life. br br A question of the soul. br And the injured br losing their injury br in their innocence br -a cock, a cross, br an excellence of love. br br And the father grieves br in flophouse br complexities of memory br a thousand miles br away, unknowing br of the unexpected br youthful stranger br bumming toward his door.
