POEM:
Sometimes I’m stunned by how time
moves through a life

attending his high school graduation
until next month
when you’re escorted into a one-room apartment in senior living
and you stare out the window while the smiling aide says,
“Look at that view. Isn’t it fine?”

After checking each other
for spit-up stains, we head to an Italian place,
glasses of red wine, gnocchi,
in a booth by the window.There’s a flurry or two, Christmas
lights strung across Main.
The marquee on a local theater
