great
on the phone,
lucid and together.
up to date on the news,
the weather.
he's got a handful
of blonde jokes that he
wants to tell.
i hear christmas music
in the back ground.
the rustling of wrapping
paper, the snapping
of his teeth
on cookies.
the sound of coffee
being sipped.
what do you get a man
of that age?
nothing.
you just laugh and listen.
