"Standing Close"
"Her bent back collects newspapers and cardboard boxes."
"Her work pants are loose on her shrunken body."
"When a car enters the alley, she stands close to the side."
"With her small cart, which is her only flesh and blood."
"Standing close in solitude."
"Like a spider in a dirty cement wall."
"Like an old string ray at the bottom of a water tank."
"Standing low and close to a gray wall."
"Once the car possess, the grandmother, who was like crinkled paper slowly straightens out again."
"The cart's wheels follow her at her heels like young goats."
"If I think about the worn out television that will turn on in that room....."
"If I think about the tilted sink, pots, and pans."
"and the bent back that will stand in front of it....."
"I choke up."
"If I think about the rag in the corner, which she has probably wrung out."
