In a headshot of sorts
from a 4th of July picnic,
another Bill Bly peers from under
no hat, over his glasses, seeing
the camera, making a face for it,
a wise-guy look:
the son and father, for the moment
able-bodied, able-minded, able-eyed,
says to the camera that he knows this;
a look his son nor father do not have,
or lost, and now do not need.
