Upstate New York is a wise older brother.
There's a live shot of the nation’s capitol
Smoldering through steam.
A person on TV says ‘this country’
That's all needed to describe.
I’m looking up at the satellite dish
On the truck,
Waiting for it to move.
The guy wants to point it in another direction.
He looks at me for a moment,
but is trying to listen to the other man.
I walk away thinking ‘I don’t want to distract him’.
He’s training to find satellites.
