another new year

you say things like I should go
visit, I don't know how many
more Christmases he has in him.
he can't hear, or see very well.
you sent him a magnifying
glass as a gift. but he still
finds humor in everything,
telling you a blonde joke
on the phone, one he's told
before. he laughs at the end,
waiting for you to join in,
you do. this is how it works
now. you forget all that went
wrong and help him across
the road of another new year.
