What happened to Alabama Pitts’ son?
Born when he was eighteen or nineteen,
Just out of the navy,
Divorced this article says,
Jobless in New York
Where he became a stickup man.
Took a taxi to rob a grocery store,
A taxi.
What happened to his son?
When Alabama became a
Water cooler topic.
Briefly a commodity.
One year younger than my mother.
Likely gone now.
Did he know who dad was?
Did he traffic in that knowledge?
Was he a sport, a wolf,
A preacher, a barber,
A lover, a killer,
Did he go to war?
Did he go to the old man’s funeral?
