Niagara of Memory i. Young Boy

When I was a young boy
my mother was given to fits
of melancholia and meanness.

Her mother, whom I loved,
lived on another road
two or 3 miles away.
When my mother was bad
my grandmother would
catch me in her arms
and take me to her home
where I would stay
for a week or two or three

But then, I would go
to my mothers house
that was never home,
and wait.
