Jake's Flea Market

go now from here to market square

every week on my 
way to the black eagle the   
widow wittner and her sister start
conversations with me they   
ask if there’s baptism on sunday
or if it’s time for the lord’s supper

i think they’d rather be wives than widows

shake your head when you meet them
then hurry your steps toward

yesterday   kretschner’s wife served beer
