had her hobbies.
she liked playing gin
rummy too.
keeping score.
she put puzzles together
and framed
them for the wall.
made doll houses,
knitted,
sewed.
she had a room she
called her sewing room,
with an old Singer,
on the table.
she read books,
watched her shows.
she made a lifetime
of distractions,
with parakeets and dogs.
her garden.
her roses.
her pies in the oven,
her red sauce
on the stove.
one would almost think
she was happy.
