dafremen
In
the
streaked
earthbound
throng
along
the
straight
harrow-ruled
furrows
breaking
the
soil
fighting
for
space
in
the
sunlight
in
a
tractor
rich
part
of
town
,
a
man
with
brown
skin
and
practically unintelligible
English
slurred
by
the
Bud
Light
rising
from
his
breath
in
the
torpid
September
puffs
a
quizzical
sigh
that
approximates
the
well
worn
sound
of
a
blast freezer's
door
seals
-
a
certain
,
distant
icy
closure
on
behalf
of
our
ball
-capped merchant
of
death
whose
calloused,
green
-stained
fingers
say
,
"
Ho
ho
ho
.
Green
Giant
,
bitch
."
A
few
feet
away
from
him
on
a
Sunday
in
the
seating
area
of
a
grocery
store
deli
far
from
the
glint
of
the
pallid
fluorescents
winking
off
the
doors
in
the
frozen
foods
aisle
a
man
in
cowboy
hat
,
ostrich
skin
boots
and
matching
leather
belt
listens
in
on
a
conversation
which
is
not
his
own
:
"
Do
you
want
frozen
peas
?
Or
green
beans
?"
