  If on your grandmother's birthday you burn a candle
  To honor her memory, you might think of burning an extra
  To honor the memory of someone who never met her,
  A man who may have come to the town she lived in
  Looking for work and never found it.
  Picture him taking a stroll one morning,
  After a month of grief with the want ads,
  To refresh himself in the park before moving on.
  Suppose he notices on the gravel path the shards
  Of a green glass bottle that your grandmother,
  Then still a girl, will be destined to step on
  When she wanders barefoot away from her school picnic
  If he doesn't stoop down and scoop the mess up
  With the want-ad section and carry it to a trash can...
