My brother kept (A)
in a frame on the wall (B)
pictures of every motorcycle, car, truck: (C)
in his rusted out Impala convertible (D)
wearing his cap and gown (E)
waving (F)
in his yellow Barracuda (G)
with a girl leaning into him (H)
waving (F)
on his Honda 350 (I)
waving (F)
on his Honda 750 with the boys (J)
holding a beer (K)
waving (F)
in his first rig (L)
wearing a baseball hat backwards (M)
waving (F)
in his Mercury Montego (N)
getting married (O)
waving (F)
in his black LTD (P)
trying to sell real estate
waving
back to driving trucks
a shiny new rig
waving
on his Harley Sportster
with his wife on the back
waving
his son in a car seat
with his own steering wheel
my brother leaning over him
in an old Ford pickup
and they are
waving
holding a wrench a rag
a hose a shammy
waving.
My brother helmetless
rides off on his Harley
waving
my brother's feet
rarely touch the ground-
waving waving
face pressed to the wind
no camera to save him.
