Dinner with grandson –

a veritable feast

of historical fact, fiction

 and stories galore,

excitedly presented,

leaving me hungry for more.

After almost eighty years

of learning and unlearning,

I’ve found it helps to

hold things loosely.

I open the door.

It’s raining. Knox steps outside.

I stay in. Knox stops, waits,

 turns, comes back in.  

I sigh, put on my rain cape.

It looks like we go together

or not at all.

JDG

Squirrel chases squirrel.

Knox chases squirrel chasing squirrel.

I chase Knox chasing squirrel chasing squirrel.

Crow calls race for first squirrel.

Knox lodges protest.

JDG

Yesterday’s temperature

rose to ninety five.

Nature had

a heated discussion

with herself.
