Stream of consciousness poem -- part 55


Chapter 55

November 1, 2011 – Still in the morning

We gather
My brother’s
Military release paperwork
And his birth certificate
And, for good measure,
His
Dog tags

We pile
Into my car
 And head to
The nearest
Social Security Office
I have never been to
The nearest
Social Security Office
I have never been past
Magnolia Plantation
On the road
Which we will
Travel

“It will be
An adventure”
I say
And my brother
 Looks
Doubtful
