my father
tucked tight in his little
apartment
near the ocean
sounds
good on the phone.
at 92
he's doing fine.
meals on wheels.
the television always
on.
neighbors stopping by.
waving,
bringing him cakes
and pies.
his nine
or more
children completely
out of sight
out of mind.
he's safe in his little
cocoon, without a worry,
a care.
sitting on the porch
with a cup of black coffee
and a bag
full of macaroons.
