If you remove the asphalt
there is brick, and if you
remove those bricks,
there is dirt. She was there
when the road was dirt
and they filled its holes
with cinders from the furnace.
She and my grandfather,
along with some neighbors
petitioned the city to pave
the road, and they agreed
saying, "Soon, all of the city
streets will be paved."
It seemed unbelievable, she said.
