about money and about my health;
It looks like the land purchase
is going through next door,
and that will tie up a bundle.
It is a good bet on the future...
but on the other hand there could be some
medical expenses coming up:
Lately, keratosis has reared its ugly head
all over my back, and
what with that and the tiny cancers
I recently had removed--
Not to mention the uncontrollable
trembling lip--Parkinson's?
Pick your own ending to that story.
And then my wife appears at the doorway
after strolling through the patio from her bed,
encouraging the flowers,
bringing her sweetness and light--
An account of me chatting and chuckling
through last night's dreams--
affirming that there must be some
Levity, somewhere inside--
Bringing a more sanguine balance.
