On Fridays the team wore ties.  Most
were handed down from me, same
with the oversized, ill-fitting button-ups.
Delvon said he'd only worn one twice
before, two funerals.  The funerals didn't
stop, he remarked, just the desire to dress up
for something that happens all the time.
I never thought I'd smile with a tie on,
never thought it would look right.
