AMOS AND JESSE
“It’s nothin’ to it.”
“Are you sure, Jesse?”
“You’ve heard Uncle Bo talk about train-hopping to go somewhere-or-nother almost every night we camped.”
“But Ma said half-a-what Uncle Bo said was rose-glassed reminiscing.”
“Ma just said that to keep us home longer. Pa needed us to do the farmin’. Well, there’s no farmin’ left. Pas drunk it all away and the bank got the dirt now. You know Ma is going back East. I ain’t a-goin-be no city dandy. Is that what you want?”
“’Course I don’t”
“Then stop bein’ so fickle-hearted and let’s run.”
“Wyoming, here we’s a come!”
