MOVING ON UP
He calls his classmates, The Swells,
my friend writes of his grandson.
They're children of those who belong
to the Center for Worthies.
That's how Red Pine names them.
I'm from a small town in the country.
I'm not a wheat farmer's son
and it was their town.
Chicago catalogues
is where we got our clothes.
You can imagine the laughter
when we moved to the city.
