Family is like water,
the original stream
The bottom bunk again,
his slumber verses
A grace and a toughness,
the safe border between
The fires of the Bronx,
sunlight through the girders
Recklessness and temptation
written on the ceiling
A colossal illusion,
sawdust on the floor
Some sort of revolutionary act,
a motherfucking ambulance chaser
-Found Poem
All lines are direct quotes from pages 57-59 of Colum McCann’s Let the Great World Spin
