The Sunrise Senior Home

they paint
the building hope yellow with
white trim.
put a sign out front
in floral
script,
everyone is welcome.
there are lots of greenery,
new
and fresh on
the grounds.
flowers grow everywhere
like rainbowed
nests.
a fountain
in the circle driveway
spews a clear
sparkle of water into the air.
there's three meals
per day,
canasta at six pm,
a pickle ball court
in the rear.
a pool to wade in.
the place
has all the airs
of a beginning, not
an end.
a nice slight of hand.
well done.
and
what's that siren i hear?
could it be
another ambulance
approaching slowly
around the bend.
