HERE COMES THE TRAIN
I can tell by the rumble
and the whistle
After I told Karen the news
her soul dropped
her disappointment that great
You said you had good news
and my friends said
Maybe he found some
new green growth
in the Hinoki Cypress
Maybe the winter
didn’t get that tree afterall
Maybe there are no good words sometimes
We walked around the kitchen
We shared some hugs
We each had a frozen chocolate chip cookie
taken from the freezer
I think I’ll go to Costco, Karen says
And I’ll take my brother to the airport
