reams and reams of hewnstone



visiting houston and our cousins, aunt, uncle
who was never there
mr important, hair slicked back, bourbon at 10
after reams of law work
paying forward the country club pool account
to rub elbows, or not, with barbara
as much as a pine
tree chooses his soil and rock and water
grown over stones to split the root-beer
float, ordering from 
the pool, and no money. just saying i want it.
aunt went jogging with barbara 
i hear, gav'ersome sun screen 90, as the sun
and oil burnt off our sky 
her sons no sons of bitches
just world fuckers
well some one got to fuck the world, huh
visiting hue
stone, the lee side of the ponderosa, a nailed up
perch with a rope to tarzan over
to the other huge trunk 
the cousins hand me down jeans and duds
well worn after they got to me and grunt
their big dog
their schwinn 10 speeds and perfect roads and 
sidewalks, made for barb
a raw, barbie rose
                    ah, bar bar A

 Her personal views on abortion were not known, although her friends reported at that time that she "privately supported abortion rights."

 She explained, "I hate abortions, but I just could not make that choice for someone else."

 She caused a stir when she said that she supported ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment and was pro-choice on abortion,
