Back Bay Tapestry
In the barrens behind the church, the snow lingers, and in the back bay Joe and his wife on their Cape Islander Severance entertain a flotilla of seagulls. Quiet enterprises. No wonder the youngsters of the village pine to move to the city where the real action is. No wonder that having been in many cities, this is just enough action for me. This and the spontaneous fits of dancing and singing that arise from time to time.
