   I have my mother's letters 
   in a Woolworth's plastic bag, 
   three or four, to be precise, 
 
   five decades worth of admonitions, 
   her longhand all around the type 
   with, now and then, some Pitman script 
 
   learned when she was twenty. 
   I don't destroy them ... or re-read them. 
   Their arguments go round and round, 
 
   the tone so much now then, my boy, 
   and don't you kid yourself 
   they float like gunsmoke in a cupboard 
 
   down there where I keep my shoes. ...
