SO MUCH MORE TO FIND OUT

 

SO MUCH MORE TO FIND OUT

                 --Josh at 19

You’re coming by tomorrow

to tie Grandpa’s necktie

with that double Windsor

knot I could never learn.

Thanks, man. Like you said

last night, When do you need it?

You’re driving back

from the Klickitat--

How’s the fishing? I ask.
No good, brown as dirt--

fish everywhere, they can’t see

my lures or smell my eggs.

That’s poetry! I say.

I said it the way I did--

on purpose, you say.

That’s more interesting to me

than your fishing, is what

I say. So much you’re learning

about yourself everyday.

You’ve got my ear, Josh--

Gpa’s listening!

Gpa Jim/Gma Karen

P.S. Love is still the most important.
