They walked in file, two by two,
to view
her house. The sign in front
said,
FOR SALE, GORSKI AND SONS, REALTORS.
At the
door, Gorski himself led them in,
while
I, watching from across the street,
imagined
him leading each couple
to the
four bedrooms, the dry basement,
the clean
dog bed, the back porch grill,
the herb
garden, while the trees twittered
and the
sun went down and the evening shower
growled
and poured. And a gray car
(I know
I saw it) backed fast from the garage
(I know
I heard it) beeped once
and whispered
away. |
