| Butler Pennsylvania 47 Butler Face Didn't I see you once in a picture by van der Goes dressed in robes kneeling before an infant with your hands folded rapt in awe at what you saw. Now you are leaning over looking with that same fervor at tarnished silver spoons under a lamp at a flea market on the edge of town, while under the stand a bold electric fan spins futile warmth at our December cold. |
