all the kids will come over
with their
cards and gifts.
they'll hug me, and tell
me how much
they admire me,
love me
for my wisdom and kindness.
one will buy me
a pipe, another
a pair
of slippers, maybe a robe
will appear,
a few books,
a nice pair of binoculars
to watch the birds
out the back window.
for one day none of them
will ask
me for money, or
if they can borrow the car.
we'll toss the ball around
in the yard,
and fly a kite.
they'll take me out
to dinner at some point
and we'll play
remember when,
we'll reminisce about
when they were young.
it will be a lovely time.
strange though,
as i wake up and blink
my eyes,
i think these sinus pills
i've been taking
are causing hallucinations.
