There's not that much sacramental eating there. And I'm not sure I'd call it anything else but dinner after dad died. I think Eating Together''s damn good. I could do without "shall" in almost every poem, but surely the close deserves more than "the second half is better than the first."

I am with you on the peaches poem.

James, the repeated "shall"s do bother me. I would say it's a cultural thing, but he's been in the States most of his life.
