American
Gothic, Redux
Vertical
lines, hard
glances, gray, gray,
gray and a slight blue
sky. Sunday clothes
and coveralls. A broach,
a pitchfork, round
glasses. Gothic
window, church-like
between wife, husband,
the same curve as their
faces. Only one
horizontal edge—porch
roof right through
their heads, anchoring
the whole wide world.
