A-Team
by Francine DuBois

Last night I had a dream that I met
Mr. T's wife. She would answer to Mrs. T,
But preferred to go by her Christian name
Gladys. Together, the seventy-seven year old
Grandma and her man swapped stories about gold necklaces,
Peanut butter sandwiches, and where they were
When Martin Luther King, Jr. and JR Ewing were shot.
