gramps

Immigrant railroad mechanic from alsace-lorraine
olive and small
Okie farmer/scholar from hamilton county indiana
fair and tall

one was a drinker, the other was not
one was crazy for a time, the other was not

their blood fills my veins
men I hardly knew
they gave me their names
men who never met

am I similar to them
maybe only one
would they be proud
