Fantastic poem
I am shocked at the lame interpretations I have read here. This is not
about "brothers", it is about one man, who has two lives: one when he
sleeps and one when he is wakes; one who young who lives in memory and one
who is old that lives in the present; those are the "brothers" sharing the
same life.
This is a magnificent poem.

I feel that its about Levine reminiscing the loss of his brother whom he
neglected due to his work... and the idea of sleeping might correspond to
fear of facing reality and wallowing in one's fantasies and dreams
instead...

Philip Levine is actually my grandfather, or Grandpoptree as I have called
him my entire life. This poem is about him and my Uncle Eddy, his twin. Im
his youngest sons daughter. The first guy who commented is completely
wrong, and looked waaaaay too deeply into my grandpas words. Its about how
he worked the dayshift and Uncle Eddy worked the night. Thought you might
want to be well informed.

They were twins, actually. Best poem ever.

To me this poem is very evocative of grief and the numbness that allows us
the carry on. The gritty images of his brother are sharp and fit well into
the poverty and drudgery told within the poem. It doesn't hurt that my
impression of the first line was "Okay he's a younger brother" and my
impression of the last line was "Oh, God."
