from reclaimed clay
potters shape their vessels
thus life continues

where’s the leafy shade
robins, juncos, and squirrels
only a stump now

telling everyone
how poor she is— then angry
when they believe her

following behind
his aged mother in the shops
a funeral pace
2004
I’m struggling with socks
she’s painting the house— married
to wonder woman

can’t do the raking
cat busy snuggling
in my lap
1978
now that I’m ancient
young women laugh at my jokes
nirvana at last

the mother parades
up and down the driveway
showing her fawn off

into the marines—
new grandfatherhood

young women lust
for my tattered, mangled jeans
ask me where I shop

my aunt complaining
how heavy each day
her bag is growing

go-go boots and tassels
grandmothers giggle

corners me— shows off pictures
of her grandchildren

but I know you were
addressing the cats
