on the back side of our property was a fence row,
\nand on the other side of that row was a railroad track;
\nberries grew on the fence and my Grandmother would
\ndrag us back there to help her pluck those precious fruits
\neach season;
\nsometimes we would climb the fence and walk the rails \u2013
\npicking u p spikes for our collection,
\nsometime my Grandmother,
\nalways keen,
\nwould know that danger loomed and scurry us
\nback over the fence,
\nthen minutes later a train would clunk over the track
\nand toot a lonely toot for dirty children waving
\non the fence line.<\/p>\n
