Far from being a poet of note or the wordsmith I wish to be, I’ve been flattered by others asking how I do it.

“They killed Dean. He was just a boy,” the engineer said. “Ain't nothin' we can do about that now,” Herb said. “I'm sorry mister, but believe it or not, we didn't want it to end that way. We just wanted the railroad company's money for a good cause and that's just what we're going to get now.” The old man scowled at Carlson. “So you wanted the company's money for a good cause, eh?
