They happened upon a dying woman next to a great putrid river with an infant swaddled in a grass woven blanket.  They were both badly sunburned.  She had all the hope in the world within her heart and mind. 

She didn’t believe she was dying but the two of them had no doubt in their minds and they communicated it to each other through a sad sideways glance.

But then she had a handful of candy
and ordered a third giant glass of soda
Then the conversation inevitably turned
to our current show business occupations
I said I was a writer and zombie killer
You know just to break the proverbial ice

Mother called last night. I asked her how things were going.

“Oh ” she says drably “my knees hurt a bit but I’m getting around pretty good.  It’s been raining two straight days.  The corn looks good.  Never seen it tassel so early before the Fourth.  Don’t see that too often…”
