An American Tragedy
Authorship not stated
A family mission sets up its portable organ on a Kansas City corner while the theater crowd walks past. You play Clyde, holding the placard through your father's sermon on wealth without righteousness, with the largest hotel blazing across the avenue — doormen, motorcars, bellboys your own age in cleaner coats than yours. One of them mentions that the service door hires. Your sister admits she is thinking about it too.
