Home Fires

IN a Yiddish eating place on Rivington Street ... faces ... coffee spots ... children
kicking at the night stars with bare toes from bare buttocks.
They know it is September on Rivington when the red tomaytoes cram the
pushcarts,
Here the children snozzle at milk bottles, children who have never seen a cow.
Here the stranger wonders how so many people remember where they keep
home fires.
