Today, for What it's Worth

 

Two days before Christmas,


my son turns 56 today,


the temperature outside is -5 degrees,


a New Year is on the horizon,


hopes and dreams are fleeting,


no tree of lights or Menorah for me,


it’s in my dog’s nature to bark,


against my will sometimes,


changes in me have come naturally,


I have my faucets on slow drip


so that my pipes don’t freeze,


Barrett Martin Group plays


The City Slithers” a jazz tune


on the cable music choice TV,


Central Standard Time is 8:46 AM


where I am,


the date, December 23, 2022,


so far today is one run-on sentence,


but nothing lasts forever,


for now, I’ll wait and see.
