Pee Stops


Two pee stops
      During apple-blossom time.
            May–and damsel–flies.

            *            *            *

How hard to write!
      Only 80 years to get it right,
            Identify the grasses, birds.

            *            *            *

Do I covet my mother's piano?
      Not at all.
            The pictures on it of her grandsons.

            *            *            *

Wynton says Practice 5 hours a day
      To be great. How true!
            But one hour will have to do.

            *            *            *

Dad's last walk
      Past his tulip tree's
            Strong, straight bole.

            *            *            *

I keep trying.
      If I fail in June
            I try in July.

            *            *            *

The wind is empty of seed just now.
      Older, less is known.
            But so what!
