Sitting At the V.A. Clinic

Man old in wheelchair with a number tatooed across the back of his hand. Three rows of numbers. Were you there? Germany? Amsterdam? His head is bowed into hand/arm resting on the chair. Bowed head sparse white of hair were you there? Holocaust man reading. In boots now he is the lumber man, or cowboy man ... were you there? Old velcro tennis shoe men in the optometry clinic waiting for glasses while they read pictures.
