There is a dried-out patch of dirt I'll be drawn back to before I die; a cluster of heat, frustration, and poverty.  No matter how modern I make myself, I'll only ever be that boy in the dirt, fighting off gnats while pretending to be somebody: pretending, but never dreaming.

    I am Daddy. Just wrapping up this last poem.
    Love you, son.
    You too, Mamma.
