Little Favors, by R. Gerry Fabian

He wears his scars
without any shame.
These come from
brush, bricks and blades.
His left arm bends
a crooked forever
in memory
of a tractor spill.

On late Sunday afternoons,
his sun slant eyes
squint
at a screen.
He drinks two bottles
of ice-cold beer:
one during each half
of the 4:00 NFL game.

Each Sunday,
he makes a silent wish
that the game will go into overtime
so, he can have just one more.
