staying busy at the end

i ask him
what he does in his retirement.
he yawns
and pats his
belly.
he's relaxed.
almost asleep as he sits
there in the sun
in his terry cloth
bath robe.
i go to the lake he says,
at dusk
to throw
bread to the geese.
i watch movies,
i read.
i enjoy making new
recipes.
i go on long walks
in the woods
when the weather is nice.
join me
sometime when you quit
your job.
won't you?
