A Moment In Time

it’s a cold dark perhaps rainy night in detroit, michigan in the early 1930’s a young man hails a taxi to get to his job on the docks he looks at the driver and says you know, after we are both married and have kids and after the war thirty years from now your youngest daughter will marry my oldest son and we two will become fast friends ………… not likely, since one was black and one was white and they probably wouldn’t be able to ride in the same car in the ‘30’s in detroit but eighty years later I still like to picture it
