31

We're here: ninety-one
fifty-nine, and twenty-five.
Three generations.

30

I have no reason
to leave the cottage today
big meals and card games

29

We walked down the pier
Thinking, maybe, we would see
Our Grandpa out there

28

Read to her all day:
Biography, newspapers,
letters, diaries.

27

Lake Erie Cottage
shower's outside, big waves and storms
playground memories

26

unplanned taxi ride
win nineteen at airport slots
some lost money back

17

today I tried a
funny film to feel better
something's in the gut

16

"It will be alright"
and the next day it seems true
but sort of heavy

15

LA's easier
(or injury's easier)
with good friends and laughs

13

play catch up with life
upload photos, add haikus,
read library books

12

Merle Haggard sings out
"it's not love, but it's not bad."
I think I get it.

11

A mental mindfuck
To be stuck instead of out
MoviesTVBooks

10

XRays, Lawyers called
Is that all I do today?
Pretty much, just that.

9

carried up the stairs
not from drink, but helplessness
up too late, too much

8

They said pain would hit
And it did, grit teeth, but saw
Dodos from wheelchair

7

Bike accident proof:
1 bum ankle, 1 bum wrist,
gear marks on my arm.

6

Did minor damage
To jeep that turned into me
Made me ER bound

5

We cook mac and cheese.
Roast beets, carrots. Buy ice cream.
Watch Say Anything.

4

wheelchair bound she asks,
what's today? I say, Tuesday.
She was mistaken.

3

I have halfway fears.
See, it's August, and I keep
losing direction.
