used to keep
his Christmas tree up all year.
the lights
on his house too.
there was an Easter basket
on the table.
a plastic pumpkin
full of candy
on the mantle.
Flags for flag day
hung on the porch.
balloons and hats for
new years eve,
were in the corner.
three leaf clovers
were stuck to the wall.
a small oak tree
in a planter
stood in the middle
of the room.
i asked him what that was
for.
Arbor Day, he said.
it sneaks up on you.
