camping with
her meet up group.
it's a fun bunch of seniors
she says.
all divorced and single,
some widows
and widowers.
we go up into the mountains
and set up camp.
what about the snakes,
i ask her.
and the black bears.
mosquitoes?
do you have an axe,
a gun,
pepper spray for vandals
that wander into
camp and hit us with sticks
while we lie
in our sleeping bags?
no, she says.
it's quite safe.
we build a fire and roast
marshmallows, sometimes
we cook
hot dogs and beans.
we tell ghost stories
around the fire as we drink
wine and beer.
what about canoodling, i ask
her, does that happen.
okay, she says, you're
officially univited.
