On Hanover Street, she was buying tomatoes. The producers watched before asking. Local, Italian, darkhaired mother, gap between front teeth like her son, like her brother, voice strong enough to call a boy home, Wednesdays, to Prince spaghetti pasta. Come nights we watch her commercial on television, her leaning out a top floor apartment, calling, Anthony, Anthony! between evening news and the VonTrapp children. Dinner in the living room, Mama says, just this once. We place a pillow over the spot Nickie spilt soup. 14
Dad eats in the kitchen, neck folding as he bends to reach his bowl, eyes trained on the paper, the war. Sometimes, he talks with her on the phone and they sift through shifts and tones in the letters John sends home, hearing him breathe in the space between words. She calls again, voice lingering like the confetti on brick walls days after the Fisherman’s Feast. I wonder what she dreams— in moments, after night’s hand pinches out streetlights, if she thinks of John running through the streets of the North End, uniform barely creasing with his stride, coming home, if she remembers hearing words of English slip between his teeth, unfamiliar, 15
if she doesn’t sleep, and just stares At the picture of Roosevelt hanging like a relative in her room.

I’ve heard many family stories about my great-aunt Mary and the 1970s Prince Spaghetti Pasta commercial she was in and this piece is my envisioning of both the truth and fiction of her life through the perspective of her niece, my mom. Hello
