“that cold November weekend”
excerpt
we stopped at "seven dwarfs"
for sundaes
as we drove home
i pressed my face against
the cold car window
and thought about my parents
years later
i heard
that Kennedy
had been
quite
a ladies man
i wondered if Jackie
made Caroline and John Jr.
clean the White House
i vaguely remember
a photograph
of the Kennedy children
eating ice cream cones
that cold November weekend
John Kastholm
